RESUME:"The Umbrella Man" is a short story written by Roald Dahl. It was first published in 1946 in "The New Yorker" magazine. Here's a summary of the story: The story takes place in New York during World War II, shortly after the end of the war. The author, who is also the narrator, goes to a bar to have a drink after attending the funeral of his young uncle. In the bar, he notices an elderly and peculiar man, nicknamed "The Umbrella Man" by the regulars. The man is always sitting in the same spot, alone at a table with a glass of beer in front of him. What makes him so strange is that he always stands under a large black umbrella, even when the weather is sunny. He never removes his umbrella, even when entering the bar.
