Hey Man - Andrew Meehan

"If all that follows reads like a love story, that's what it was..."Hey Man�is the story of Ian and Tommy, whose rich and tender friendship stretches across three fateful decades. Their story begins in 1989, when seventeen-year-old Dubliner Ian finds himself lodging with thirty-year-old actor Tommy in London. A summer of long nights and early mornings leaves an indelible mark on them both.� Then, the adventure ends. Tommy vanishes, and Ian is left with the ache of something unfinished. When they meet again in Dublin, fifteen years later, Ian is Brother Eugene, a Benedictine monk searching for meaning in devotion, while Tommy is navigating fame, divorce, and his familiar restlessness. The old spark is there-but so are the questions: what did they mean to each other, and why does it still matter?At Tommy's sixtieth birthday, with illness casting its shadow, the truths long buried rise to the surface.�Tender and devastating, Hey Man�is a meditation on the mysteries of male friendship and the bonds that shape a life. An ode to male friendship-wise, wry, poetic, and deeply moving.�
