And Leon returned the disfavor to his own offspring Marcus, by becoming a coke-sniffing, child-neglecting womanizer himself.\u003cbr\u003e In FATHERS AND SONS, the two living relations, and the ghostly one, confront one another during a family crisis...\u003cbr\u003e Bradford's dialogue can sizzle and sting, and he exhibits a real flair for sexy romantic banter. That gift is exploited in the more intimate, sensuous scenes...\u003cbr\u003e Clearly, the playwright wants to explore how a man like Marcus can overcome a legacy of parental neglect and misogyny to forge a committed marriage--and maybe even a reconciliation with his father.\"\u003cbr\u003e Misha Berson, Seattle Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46475318231191,"sku":"9780881454208","price":1444.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780881454208.jpg?v=1766273113","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fathers-and-sons-9780881454208","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
