Two Henrys
Coming out can be awkward enough—let alone coming out in the 1970s, in Ohio, as a Catholic schoolboy. In this fearless and funny true story, the host and founder of the hit podcast RISK! shares all.
From first grade through junior high, twelve-year-old Kevin and his best friend, Ben, were inseparable. But when Kevin divulged his biggest secret, Ben froze him out. The pint-size cold war lasted two years—until they went head-to-head for student council president. Team Ben’s smear campaign began. The school took sides. And Kevin decided to run with it.

Ben and Kevin met in first grade and became instant friends in the way only children can. Everything was hilarious to them, they called themselves the two Henry's and everyone else was a pineapple.
As the boys grew, Kevin starts to feel like he doesn't quite fit in, has feelings for other boys that the world is telling him is disgusting and as a result, feels the distance growing between him and his best friend.
This felt longer than its 30 pages, the writing style is fantastic, I felt the emotions on the page come to life.
Four stars.

Two Henrys is one of four stories in the Audible/Amazon Originals This Can't Be Happening Collection. Each story is about someone's worst case scenario and how they used it to their advantage rather than letting bad events own them.
I loved this story! Kevin Allison tells the tale of meeting....and losing....his best friend in school. They were inseparable friends until Kevin divulged he was gay. That revelation of his greatest secret caused a rift between the two former best buddies, culminating in a run for junior high student council president.
I remember the days when the most terrifying thing that could happen to a kid was to be "different'' or even the dreaded term "unpopular.'' I was always in the "unpopular'' group for a large list of ridiculous reasons. I was told I was too smart, never wore the right clothes, my hair was wrong, didn't apply the correct shades of cool eyeshadow and lip gloss, and I wasn't thin enough. As soon as I had that magic birthday where I was old enough to work, I got a job waitressing at a truck stop so I could fix the clothes, my hair, and buy the required make-up. It didn't help....I was still in the reject group. Too smart. Too nerdy. Too plain. Wore glasses. Wore a size 12. I just was that too round peg that didn't even remotely fit the square hole of popularity.
There was one topic that was the ultimate taboo back in 80's public school in the rural midwest where I grew up -- being gay. I'm sure there were gay kids at my school, but they stayed safely in the closet back in those days. The worst thing to call someone back then was a "fag'' or a "fruit.'' It was the penultimate insult. The destroyer of worlds. Worse than being weird. Looking back, I wonder if any of my classmates lived in that hell of never getting to be who they really were. Never getting to just be themselves out of fear of being outted. There would have been no escape from being labeled as The Fag. I grew up in that era.....and I felt total sympathy for Kevin Allison as he told his story with honesty, humor and truth.
I listened to the audio version of this novella. It's an easy listen at just under 1.5 hours. Kevin Allison narrates his own story. His performance is top-notch. It was enjoyable to hear his tale of learning to be comfortable in his own skin. I have hearing loss but was easily able to hear and understand the entire audio book. Kevin Allison has a popular podcast called Risk!, showcasing true stories that people never thought they would work up the guts to tell in public. It sounds intriguingly interesting. I added it to my podcast lineup. Definitely worth a listen!

“Two Henrys” is a compelling short story—one of four that comprise the collection of Amazon Original Stories entitled This Can’t Be Happening. Author Kevin Allison peels back layers of thick skin he developed as a child and relates his own experience at discovering he was gay and then coming out to his best friend, Ben. The story itself is riddled with facts that I found difficult to swallow, such as a three year old with a vague understanding of the fact that his emerging sexual identity is something that disturbs his mother. In the end, however, one must take Allison at his word that the events transpired as he remembers them.
As the parent of a lesbian teen, I found myself in tears reading about Allison’s periods of self-doubt as he attempted to conform to what he believed were societal norms. The cruelty of youth is something that is as disturbing as it is disheartening . As this story takes place in the 70s, one would like to think that we have come far enough in our evolutionary development that those who identify as LGBTQ are simply accepted. The truth of the matter is that the bias and hatred is still there, simmering just beneath the surface and stoked by our current political climate. What Allison experienced is still relevant today—and that is perhaps the most heartbreaking realization of all.
This is a read that isn’t necessarily masterfully written, or one that is full of great insight. What it is, however, is a story that will resonate with anyone who has struggled with the issue of identity—and all of the angst that accompanies it.

This book brings the reader to the base of two of the mountains a youth must climb: friendship and identity. The emerging sense of sexual identity is well described, although its origins so young in life don't seem realistic. Well written! Recommend highly, particularly for older teen.

I disliked this immensely, but not for reasons that don't make this an excellent read. My dislike has more to do with the discomfort I feel when reading about recollections of, for all intents and purposes, a rather normal childhood that has a single dark edge.
When that is not your personal experience, the pain the writer experiences seems almost trivial or trite. The depth of the recollection of personal experiences is one that leaves me cold, because I have worked so hard to have almost no recollections.
When a story is well written, an narrative is powerful, you are forced to remember yourself in those very times and this leads to a sort of discomfort with the narrative that can just be blind, unacknowledged dislike. I could say "I don't know why, I just didn't like this." But I do know why I didn't like it, and I know that because it well written it forced a confrontation with things that I'd rather not acknowledge.
That is the sign of a story worth reading.

I have been dishing out 5-star ratings lately. Two Henrys is part of the This Can't Be Happening collection. Written and read by Kevin Allison, this is an authentic account of navigating adolescence while confronting sexuality. Allison's humor may have helped him during his transition into adulthood, but the underlying uncomfortable feelings resonate through the cover of laughter.
It made me ponder that awkward age and all those questions that my classmates weren't qualified to answer, but yet, that was my information source! Growing pains.

This kindle novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book one of four
They are neighborhood boys who go through stages as they grow up. They are friends, not so good, each in their own world, and back to friends.

I feel mean eating someone’s life story badly but I need to work on rating more harshly tbh. It’s an interesting enough story but I didn’t really like the writing style and it didn’t grip me. Non fiction isn’t really my thing tho so that was to be expected. There are definitely lots of people who would like this but it’s just not for me ig.

I Picked Up This Book Because: Exploring Kindle Unlimited audio library
The Story:
A story of best friends, unrequited love and coming out… kinda. As much as I wanted to be as connected to this story as I was to the others in this short series but I just wasn’t. I’m not sure if it was Kevin’s narrating or the story itself but I just wasn’t into it. I honestly couldn’t even tell you how it ended.I checked out after he invited Ben to work on a song after not speaking to him for two years.
The Random Thoughts:
The Score Card:
2.5 Stars

Sounds like it should be touching. But I fell asleep listening to it. And not because I was tired. When I woke up I had no desire to find out what I missed 😕
It’s short, though. So for someone interested in trying it, it’s not a huge time investment. Don’t be afraid about giving it a whirl if you think it might be for you.

***Update 8/31/2020 - changed to 3 stars.
I think I needed to sleep on what this book meant to me as a small biography.
The Story -
- I did not anticipate where this was going to go, but it was a nice surprise.
- I kept waiting for things to get progressively worse, but they didn't. I would say that Kevin/Henry #1 was very fortunate to have had a "mild" experience as it pertains to homosexuality. Not everyone does, and I believe if more stories like this one were shared, it would make others feel comfortable as well.
- I could not stop thinking about the scene with Kevin's mom and the throwing away of the toy with the ass showing. This particular scene brought up some moments in my own life, where similar things happened for years and years and I never understood why until much later. It goes to show you, parents dictate a lot when kids are younger, all in an effort to shield their children from the realities of the world. However, In those efforts, sometimes the shielding is less for protection and more for damage control from embarrassment on the parent's part. The embarrassment on parents leads to rash decisions fueled by projection of their own biases created by their parents, too. It makes me sad to think that in those moments, one learns a slew of hard lessons of what trust is with those who are supposed to be closest to you, and those lessons are hard to process.
- On the back end, I love how the story panned out. And how the story was about friendship. I am happy they reconnected and were able to be the two Henry's again. I hope they have maintained their friendship.
Social Commentary
-I can make some assumptions about things based on how the story progressed: Kevin must be very straight passing, white, and middle class.
- was likely shielded even later on because of his close proximity to heterosexuality
Further the conversation as an idea
- I rarely think trigger warnings are actually useful, but in this instance, I think so many gay men have had examples and versions galore of the cupid toy and are not aware of how significant those moments are in the shifting of the relationships between them and their families/friends/other members of either party. I really had to take some time to process what I had read and think wow, this stuff happens all the time. For Kevin, I would love if he put together a series of stories of men coming out, or when they knew they were part of the LGBTQ community, but please, diversify.

Another Amazon original short story. “This Can’t be Happening” collection. It is very short and I listened to it while doing dishes…
May 5, 2019
‘Two Henrys’ is a low-key short story about a high-profile, gregarious personality - the author and actor, Kevin Allison - coming out to his best friend Ben in the seventh grade. Ben and Kevin had met when they both were six years old at school. They shared the same sense of humor. They both like acting in plays and skits. They both liked musicals. They both were Catholics.
Like many gays, Allison knew he was gay at a very young age, even before he knew the words to describe his sexuality, or even what sexuality was. Also like many people, he denied what he was figuring out about himself to himself for awhile. He tried and succeeded fitting in at school and in his neighborhood, learning to deflect bullies and make friends through humor. He also did the things boys his age were supposed to do, like experiment with kissing girls. It did not take long after that to realize his sexual mechanics were not going to change, and reading helped him over the bump of self-acceptance.
But what would Kevin’s best friend Ben do when Kevin told him he was gay, if he did tell him? They had a joke between themselves being “the two Henrys” since the first grade - would all the friendship in their relationship be finished? Would Ben tell everyone at school? What would the school do if they knew?
Tense times....
‘Two Henrys’ is a good story, intelligent and interesting, but I wish Allison had explained more things like what his mother did when he told her. However, he focuses the short story mostly on his interior experiences as a child, contrasting the unhappy self-realization of his sexuality, which was secret, while openly coming out as a popular class clown, which was a much happier self-discovery about himself. Perhaps, since the story stops when Kevin is in the eighth grade, maybe he told his mother much later, so it is not included.
I ‘discovered’ Kevin Allison through a podcast called ‘Risk’, recommended to me by my iPad podcast Apple app some years ago. I liked story telling podcasts. Big shock, right? ;)
Here is a link to his website: http://risk-show.com
The podcast showcases people doing monologues in a manner similar to the way stand-up comics do in clubs and bars, but these people tell stories which actually happened to them in real life. Some of the stories are funny, and some of the stories are sad, and many of the stories show the storyteller was a terrible person on one occasion in their lives. The storytellers are honest, sometimes graphically icky, and they sometimes tell completely everything about a sexual escapade/love affair, and even diarrhea accidents. (Diarrheal accidents are incredibly common, gentle reader! Wow.)
The podcast is not censored. I love it and I have listened to every episode.

I enjoyed the story itself, but I really did not like the narration. It made me very confused, wondering who (or really, what age group) the author intended this for; it just felt oddly infantilizing. Probably wouldn’t recommend.

Very strange story. I got the idea early on that Henry #1 was trying to make the statement that he was born gay and realized that early on. Although many believe that homosexuality, like other genetic traits, are there at birth, I don't think many people believe that children at age 5, 6, 7 have an awareness of their sexual orientation/identity. This push by the author dimmed the book and made me believe that rather than telling us about his disappointment when his friend used the information against him, he was trying to make a political statement about diversity and identity. His method failed and did a disservice to others. I have read all of the "This Can't Be Happening" collection and found most to be shallow and self-serving--the Two Henrys being strongest in the self-serving category.

Truth well told
Growing up gay is a complicated thing. For most of us who experience it, it tends to be solitary and filled with angst. Allison's story conveys that but with a light-hearted persistence that fits the satisfying conclusion. My best friend in high school was like that, and even ran for class president successfully by using similar tactics. We had our fallings out too, though never over this issue. We did not admit to each other that we were gay until years after graduation, but like Kevin Allison and his friend Ben, we were identified as a matched pair. The nickname used for us, both congenial and derogatory, was "The Bobbsey Twins."

An Amazon book, really long short-story or novelette.
This was soooo good and so well written. I was totally engaged with the 4 year old Henry, all the way to the very end, with the grown up Henry. This book/story is about two boys who meet in first grade, and become fast friends. They were the strange ones, odd ones, enchanting ones! They loved to listen to records together, and share stories together. The love they share is different from each ones perspective, yet equally strong. No spoilers...just do yourself a favor and read this delightful little story!

Almost every person I have met who is a part of the LGBT community has said that they knew from a very young age - Maybe not quite as young as Kevin, but still pretty young. They might not have known exactly where they were on the spectrum of queerness yet, but they knew they were there.
I feel Kevin's mom might have known too, or else why would she have reacted the way she did to a little kid giggling about a figurine!?!
I'm just happy things worked out well for him, and now we get to hear a bit of his story.

A snippet of a very specific time of a boy who is coming into his own queer identity, the friendship that helped define his childhood and the fall out of self expression and love. Some parts made me very uncomfortable, other parts I found were really well described - especially Kevin's thoughts about his own identity.

Short but sweet
I loved the friendship between the two boys. I really hope that after all is said and done the two of them still remains friends after the two years of Darkness. It makes me smile and gives me hope.
