The Making of Henry

More about the book

Henry Nagle, a man out of sync with the 21st century, grapples with his dissatisfaction and resentment towards his more successful childhood friend. Clad in a kimono and sipping tea, he finds solace in the past and engages in ongoing arguments with the ghost of his late father, a former upholsterer turned fire-eater. Instead of pursuing meaningful connections, Henry seeks out affairs with other men's wives, reflecting his inner turmoil and reluctance to embrace contemporary life.
