Character Analysis

Westish Students and Staff

There are a few other recurring characters, like Chef Spirodocus, who gives both Henry and Pella jobs and later teaches Pella to cook; Bruce Gibbs, the chair of trustees who is responsible for busting Affenlight's affair; and Sarah X. Pessel, a sportswriter who asks Henry about his struggles.

(Psst: we talk about Henry's idol, Aparicio Rodriguez, who appears on-page in one chapter, in our "What's Up With the Title?" section.)
