Richard Price's new novel Lush Life is the subject of Michiko Kakutani's latest "Book of the Times" article in the New York Times, and she loves it. She loves his dialogue: "No one writes better dialogue than Richard Price — not Elmore Leonard, not David Mamet, not even David Chase."
She loves the characters: "He depicts his characters’ daily lives with such energy, such nuance and such keen psychological radar that he makes it all come alive to the reader."
She loves the book over all: "In his latest novel, Lush Life, Mr. Price puts his myriad gifts together to create his most powerful and galvanic work yet, a novel that showcases his sympathy and his street cred and all his skills as a novelist and screenwriter: his gritty-lyrical prose, his cinematic sense of pacing, his uncanny knowledge of the nooks and crannies of his characters’ hearts."
You can hear Richard Price reading from his new novel and answering questions when he's in our store. He'll be here at 7:30pm on Wednesday, March 12. The event is free and open to the public.--David E
