The Book of George

The Book of George by Kate Greathead is a character-driven novel that follows two decades in the life of George, a man whose potential is consistently overshadowed by his inability to launch.

The book offers a nuanced exploration of contemporary masculinity, class, and privilege, using a series of episodic chapters that mirror George's fractured progress through life.

Through George's struggles with relationships and identity, Greathead examines larger questions about what it means to be a man in an era of shifting gender roles.
