"Kenny" by Leona Dalrymple is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Kenny, the irascible father and artist, and his son Brian, who is grappling with his own identity and the weight of familial expectations. As Brian rebels against the lifestyle imposed upon him by Kenny, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery, prompting a flurry of emotional turmoil for both characters. At the start of the narrative, we witness a heated argument between Kenny and Brian that escalates after Brian expresses his desire to disinherit himself. Kenny's bohemian lifestyle clashes with Brian's yearning for a more stable and conventional existence, leading to Brian's decision to leave home to pursue a career in journalism instead of art. This familial conflict sets the stage for a journey that will explore themes of parenthood, individuality, and creativity as Kenny grapples with his failures and seeks to reconnect with his son through a penitential journey into the countryside. The dynamics of their relationship and the rich portrayal of Kenny's character promise a story that is both poignant and humorous. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
