Description:
Alone in his decaying mansion, Grandpa Mann mourns the loss of his once-great-family's bloodline, believing it ended with him. When a baby boy is abandoned on his doorstep, with a note identifying him as the illegitimate child of Grandpa's recently deceased son, the old man is overjoyed. In his lonely, dilapidated house, Grandpa is by turns a sober, caring parent, and a reclusive alcoholic, raising his grandson, Billy, as the last proud scion of his family, immersing him in all of its complex and bizarre heritage. Rich and ambitious in scope, Eddie's Bastard is a magnificent achievement and marks the emergence of a gifted writer.
