The Prodigy
The Prodigy is Norman Weissman’s hilarious portrayal of a young runaway
whose sojurn across America pits youthful innocence against the vagaries of
people, regions and beliefs in a bygone era before the second World War.
This is an allegory. A secular Pilgrim’s Progress that pays subtle homage to
Mark Twain and John Steinbeck and reveals unexpected truths from encounters
with improbable characters and events that will keep you guessing about who
is being parodied. The Prodigy traverses a landscape reflecting the generosity
and greed, openness and prejudice, love and hatred that defines the richness
of our American experience.
