RICHARD PRICE
Friday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m.

For over thirty years now, Richard Price has been writing compelling novels (seven) of the city streets, city life intensified and heightened—as it is for so many who live the life. Author of The Wanderers, Clockers, Freedomland, Samaritan, and more, he makes this welcome return for his newest, Lush Life (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). "Master of the Bronx and Jersey projects, Price turns his unrelenting eye on Manhattan's Lower East Side in this manic crescendo of a novel that explores the repercussions of a seemingly random shooting ... Price's latest reminds readers why he's one of the masters of American urban crime fiction." - Publishers Weekly. "Richard Price is the greatest writer of dialogue, living or dead, this country has ever produced. Wry, profane, hilarious, and tragic, sometimes in a single line, Lush Life is his masterwork." - Dennis Lehane.
