Richard Price (March 10 at 7:00pm)
Richard Price on tour for Lush Life.
Novelist Richard Price, author of Clockers and Freedomland, will read from his new novel,Lush Life. Price, always a compassionate listener, may be our finest writer of dialogue. His characters bristle with vitality. Lush Life is New York City, top to bottom, as it screeches into the 21st Century. “Wry, ... (more)profane, hilarious, and tragic, sometimes in a single line, Lush Life is a masterwork. I doubt anyone will write a novel this good for a long, long time.” —Dennis Lehane
