The story is told from the fifteen year old, Josh's point of view. It is a honest portrait of someone who craves stability, but one who also must come to the rescue of other characters, especially Rita, his mother.
Kirkwood was an actor himself as well as playwright, stand-up comedian and writer. He ought not to be forgotten, as it appears has happened to him. So much the better then, that a biography, "Ponies and Rainbows: The Life of James Kirkwood" by Sean Egan, published by BearManor Media, OK. (2012) has appeared and to which I will next address my attention. ( )
