Henderson the Rain King
by Saul Bellow
I... don't know what to think about this book.
Henderson is a wealthy, older, white, military veteran who finds himself unhappy and wanting. He doesn't know what he wants, so he hops a plane to Africa in hope that he'll find answers there.
It becomes apparent as he blunders forward that Henderson isn't the most reliable narrator and his greatest sympathies lie with himself.
I'll probably be thinking/wondering about this book and protagonist for a while, which is something.
