Soldier, son, lover, husband, breadwinner, churchgoer, Henry
Maxwell has spent his whole life trying to live with honour. A
native Pittsburgher and engineer, he's always believed in logic,
sacrifice and hard work. Now, seventy-five and retired, he feels
the world has passed him by. It's 1998, the American century is
ending, and nothing is simple any more. His children are distant,
their unhappiness a mystery. Only his wife, Emily, and dog, Rufus,
stand by him. Once so confident, as Henry's strength and memory
desert him, he weighs his dreams against his regrets and is left
with questions he can't answer: Is he a good man? Has he done right
by the people he loves? And with time running out, what,
realistically, can he hope for? Henry, Himself is a wry,
warmhearted portrait of an American original - a man who believes
he's reached a dead end only to discover life is full of surprises.
