As Ambrose descends into lunacy he paints a starkly sane portrait of one family`s life in Ireland unsoftened by the mists of legend. Success Gregory Riding`s life is a series of titillating conquests. Sister, employers, acquaintances are but co-stars among a cast of thousands to have passed through his busy bed. His foster brother has to make do with his leavings as he pursues his existence of squalid mediocrity, no match for the dazzling exploits of the narcissistic fop upstairs.
