| Summary | "Bunker Bean" by Harry Leon Wilson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the titular character, Bunker Bean, a young man who is discontented with his mundane life and aspires to be more heroic and distinguished, contrasting himself with the idea of an idealized persona named Gordon Dane. The opening of "Bunker Bean" introduces us to Bean as he ponders his lack of stature and appeal while working as a lowly office clerk in New York. He feels trapped in a routine life and harbors dreams of transforming into someone powerful and admirable, perhaps even like the heroic figures he admires. His thoughts are further plagued by insecurities, leading him to criticize his unremarkable name and the drab demeanor of his superior, Mr. Breede. The narrative then hints that despite his ordinary beginnings and fears, there may be unexpected adventures awaiting Bean, setting the tone for a story of self-discovery and the pursuit of courage in a vast and intimidating world.
