Eugene Henderson

Pip
Atticus Finch
Answer
Bellow said that the character Eugene Henderson from his novel Henderson the Rain King was the character most like him. This is because Henderson is a complex and contradictory character who is both brilliant and foolish, successful and unsuccessful, and compassionate and cruel. He is also a man who is constantly searching for meaning and purpose in his life, and who is ultimately unable to find it.
