A keen, passionate portrait of the author as a poetry-spouting romantic punk torn between literary dreams and his roots in the Bronx.
Prodigal Son is pure, splendid Shanley: shaggily idealistic and always scratching a philosophical itch underneath jokes and banter.
-- Davide Cote, Time Out New York Shanley chooses characters stretched to the breaking point between rage and love.
His are characters of obsessive passions who match those passions with hyper-melodic language.
-- BOMB magazine When a troubled but gifted boy from the South Bronx arrives at a private school in New Hampshire, two faculty members wrestle with how to help him adjust to his new environment.
The boy is violent, brilliant, alienated, and on fire with a ferocious loneliness.
