Richard Price understands what’s happened to our beloved city\, he writes dialogue like a genius\, and he absolutely\, genu inely cares. Unforgettable.” Russell Banks says of Lush Life\, †œRichard Price has become our post-modern Balzac. Except that he’s a whole lot funnier than Balzac and writes the language we hear and speak better than any novelist around\, living or dead\, American or French.⠝ Michiko Kakutani writes in The New York Times\, “Lush Life is a n X-ray of the street in the age of no broken windows and ‘quality o f life’ squads\, from a writer whose tough\, gritty brand of social realism…reads like a movie in prose.” It’s no wonder: Price is also the award-winning scriptwriter for the HBO series\, The Wire . Presented in association with the Alley Theatre.Photo by Ralph Gibson.\n \nStart time: 7:30 pm (doors open at 6:45pm) DTSTART:20090309T000000 DTEND:20090309T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:Inprint Brown Reading Series: Richard Price TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
