What happens to a writer when his novel hits the bestseller list? Brooklyn Boy is an insightful and witty look at the career of Eric Weiss whose success comes at a time when his life is beginning to unravel. His wife has left him, his father is in the hospital and his childhood friend thinks he has sold himself to the devil. Pulitzer Prize winning author Donald Margulies investigates all this with a dramatic but laugh-out-loud comedy that combines the vintage themes of "returning to ethnic roots" with mid-life crisis and redemption.
