| Summary | "Queed: A Novel" by Henry Sydnor Harrison is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces readers to the life of a peculiar young man named Queed, who seems to be grappling with a mix of personal and social challenges, particularly revolving around his boarding arrangements and interactions with others in a bustling city. The beginning of "Queed" sets the stage with an encounter between the main character, a frail young man clad in spectacles, and a small girl accompanied by a large dog. This meeting quickly escalates into an awkward incident that reveals Queed’s antisocial tendencies and his intense focus on intellectual pursuits, overshadowing basic social niceties. As the girl, Sharlee Weyland, navigates her day, she intertwines with Queed's life, hinting at her role as a catalyst for him to engage more fully with the world around him. The opening chapters establish not only the social dynamics within the boarding house but also the complexities of Queed's character, who is portrayed as both a brilliant thinker and a socially inept individual, setting the foundation for deeper explorations of theme and character in the subsequent narrative.
