Revue de presse

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
