Revenge may be the only route to redemption for both Wesley and his enigmatic, murdered father.
In Irwin Shaws celebrated novel Rich Man, Poor Man, the Jordache clan was divided and scattered by the forces of American culture and capitalism after World War II. In this potent sequel, the family reunites after a terrible act of violence. Wesley never really knew his father, Tom, the black sheep of the Jordache family. Driven by his sorrow and a need for justice, Wesley uncovers surprising truths about his estranged familys complicated past. Focused, forceful, and deeply moving, Beggarman, Thief is a stunning novel by a true American literary master.

Work Description
This sequel to Rich Man, Poor Man begins with a father to be avenged, lives to be continued in one way or another, careers to be fashioned, guilt to be atoned for, hatred to wound, and love to heal. A new generation takes center stage in America and Europe, in a time of violence and peril; new bonds are formed, between cousin and cousin, sister and brother, strangers and lovers; there is ecstasy and terror, victory and defeat. The Jordaches survive.
The canvas is as rich as it is wide and the characterizations as wonderful as a master storyteller can make them, in a novel that stands completely on its own while it enhances the stories begun in Rich Man, Poor Man.
