Henry W. Clune (February 8, 1890 – October 9, 1995 was an American writer. A well-known journalist for the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper in Rochester, New York, his column "Seen and Heard" was published in that paper for 55 years. He also penned 14 books; including six novels.
From a 1990 Review in the Los Angeles Times...
The best of "Souvenir's" seven stories are portraits of people adrift in a world no longer theirs. The dowager queen of Rochester presides over an emptying salon; an octogenarian makes an eye-opening visit to a porno theater; an ex-con discovers that his daughter is irretrievably lost to him. Clune writes of the dowager: "It was the past in which she lived; the future had no meaning for her." Nor, for most of his characters, does the present.
