Gallegher and Other Stories

Viac o knihe

The narrative centers on the arrival of Gallegher, a distinctive office boy amidst a sea of forgettable predecessors. Previous office boys blended into a faceless group, each lacking unique traits. The story contrasts Gallegher's individuality with the typical sleepy, lazy, or overly familiar boys who often moved on to become district messengers. This dynamic highlights the fleeting nature of youth and the struggle for self-respect in a workplace populated by interchangeable characters. Gallegher stands out as a refreshing change in this monotonous environment.
