Brooklyn Boy (TCG Edition)

By Donald Margulies

Book Overview

"Donald Margulies has an unerring sense of language and the ability to penetrate deeply into the darkness of tangled human emotions." -Joel Hirschhorn, Variety

"Quietly melancholic...Margulies has a near-matchless ear for what common speech can express and what it can only hint at. He explores the queasy relationships between life and art, love and estrangement, and the bane that is American identity drift, with unsparing but compassionate candor." -Misha Berson, Seattle Times

"Margulies's remarkable gift of building characterization through realistic dialogue is undiminished. Full of aching ruefulness that underlies the comedy, Brooklyn Boy's scenes are written with precision and humor. The play isn't about Brooklyn, nor is it about a boy-it's about a man without a home." -Don Shirley, Los Angeles Times

This play by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Dinner with Friends follows the career of Eric Weiss, a writer whose novel hits the bestseller list the same time his life begins to unravel. His wife is out the door, his father is in the hospital, and his childhood friend thinks he has sold himself to the devil. A funny and emotionally rich look at family, friends and fame.
