SUMMARY:Inprint Brown Reading Series: Richard Price
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Inprint Brown Reading Series: Richard Price=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artshound.com/event/detail/16619=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2009-03-09=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2009-03-09=0D=0A=0D=0AThe 2008/2009 Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series presents an evening with Richard Price.Richard Price, author of seven novels, including Clockers, Freedomland, and Samaritan, has written his first novel in five years, Lush Life, which was hailed by Gary Shteyngart as “the novel about gentrified New York, circa right now, that we’ve been waiting for. Richard Price understands what’s happened to our beloved city, he writes dialogue like a genius, and he absolutely, genuinely cares. Unforgettable.” Russell Banks says of Lush Life, “Richard 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 an X-ray of the street in the age of no broken windows and ‘quality of 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.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:30 pm (doors open at 6:45pm)
