The Story of Harold

The Story of Harold is a Dantesque excursion through a garden of tortured and unfulfilled relationships: one with a woman whom Terry Andrews sleeps with and cares for, but cannot love completely, another with a surgeon, father of six, who is Terry's most cherished -- and most unreciprocating -- lover; and another with a sad young boy, already doomed to a life of insecurity and failure, whom Terry strives to redeem -- even as he prepares his own suicide. As Terry beguiles the boy with further spellbinding exploits of Harold -- the hero of his famous book -- the reader follows Terry, with terror and pity, to the end of his appointed journey. Terry Andrews is the pen name for author George Selden Thompson.
