Virgil Bliss

FROM THE LINER NOTES

When Virgil Bliss, a mild-mannered Southerner and career criminal, is released from prison after 12 years, he finds himself on the mean streets of Brooklyn at a halfway house trying to build a new life. That's where Virgil meets Manny, a fiery trouble maker who initiates the emotionally naïve Virgil in the ways of the world. Manny introduces Virgil to Ruby, a junkie and prostitute, and Virgil falls instantly in love.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote of Virgil Bliss, "It's milieu is authentic, the supporting performances are frighteningly believable, and Clint Jordan creates a tragic hero of heartbreaking nobility."
