Perhaps unsurprisingly, Henry lives an ascetic lifestyle. It is notable, then, that the items that do populate his apartment relate to Julian. Henry’s pictures and knowledge confirm many of the myths concerning Julian. He seems to know many famous and influential people. Vivian Leigh was one of the great actresses of the 20th century, T. S. Eliot was one of the great poets of the 20th century, and the Sitwells were an influential literary circle that played a part in defining the landscape of 20th-century literature. As such, despite Julian’s love of the past, he is also very much a man of the present, even if he rarely lets that side of himself show.
