Adrift in lives of possibility and limitation, the flawed,
struggling and sympathetic characters of these desperate, eerie
stories seek refuge from meaninglessness and boredom in love, art,
friendship, drugs, and sex. A journalist is either the guest or
captive of a reclusive former tennis star at his mansion in the
French hills; a terrible storm forces a man and a woman, who may be
his therapist, to flee New York together; the artistic ambitions of
a banker are laid bare when he comes under the influence of two
strange sisters. Unflinching, funny and profound, Prodigals maps
the degradations of contemporary life - from the deification of
celebrity, to the impotence of violence, to the psychological debts
of privilege, to the loss of grand narratives - with unusual
insight, sincerity, and passion. It is a fiercely honest and
heartfelt look at what we have become, the comedy of our foibles,
and our longing for home.
