Summary: "Twelve Men" by Theodore Dreiser is a collection of character sketches written in the early 20th century. The book showcases various individuals, primarily focusing on Peter, who stands out for his unique understanding of life and humanity. Through his interactions and observations, Dreiser explores themes of artistic expression, spirituality, and the nature of existence. The opening of "Twelve Men" revolves around Peter, a compelling and eccentric character who embodies a profound appreciation for life in all its facets. Dreiser introduces Peter as someone who embraces internal freedom, cherishing both the absurdity and beauty of his surroundings. In his early encounters in St. Louis, the narrator, presumably Dreiser himself, portrays Peter's lively spirit, artistic tendencies, and curiosity for the world around him. Their friendship develops against a backdrop of diverse personalities and societal norms, as they navigate through elements of humor, camaraderie, and the human experience. Through Peter’s character, the foundation is laid for a deeper exploration of the complexities of life, art, and human connections in the subsequent chapters.
