About this listen

When Tony Va Di—known up and down the Cape as “a devil of a fellow”—returns home after being presumed lost at sea, he arrives not as a ghost, but as a man unchanged: handsome, confident, and certain the world still belongs to him.

In a working-class coastal town bound by rumor, desire, and tradition, Va Di’s return reawakens old longings and unsettles lives that have painfully moved on without him. His charm draws people close, but beneath the swagger lies a dangerous emotional recklessness—one that collides with love, responsibility, and the irreversible consequences of human passion.

As night falls and private reckonings unfold, Va Di is forced into a confrontation he has never known before: the cost of his own selfishness. What begins as a triumphant homecoming becomes a quiet, devastating reckoning with life, birth, and moral consequence.

Written with stark realism and psychological depth, A Devil of a Fellow is a powerful portrait of masculinity, desire, and accountability in early-20th-century coastal New England—where charm can wound as deeply as cruelty, and redemption comes at a price.

Narrated by Ken Kowalik, this literary drama brings Wilbur Daniel Steele’s haunting, human story vividly to life.
