Gallegher and Other Stories

Mehr zum Buch

The story introduces a series of office boys who blend into a generic group, losing their individuality. Each boy, from the sleepy to the overly familiar, eventually transitions to becoming district-messenger boys, often returning in their uniforms to look down on their former colleagues. The arrival of Gallegher promises to break this monotony, hinting at his unique character that could change the dynamics in the office. This narrative explores themes of identity, youth, and the fleeting nature of childhood roles in a bustling work environment.
