Lush Life

A National Bestseller
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
One of the most acclaimed novels of the year, Richard Price's Lush Life is a tale of two Lower East Sides: one a high-priced bohemia, the other a home to hardship, its residents pushed to the edges of their time-honored turf. When a cocky young hipster is shot by a street kid from the "other" Lower East Side, the crime ripples through every stratum of the city in this brilliant and kaleidoscopic portrait of the "new" New York, from one of our finest American authors.

Richard Price is the author of several novels-including Lazarus Man, Clockers, and Lush Life-all of which have won universal praise for their vividly etched portrayals of urban America. He has written for television dramas, including The Night Of, The Deuce, and The Wire, as well as numerous screenplays, including Sea of Love, Ransom, and The Color of Money, directed by Martin Scorsese, for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, the novelist Lorraine Adams.
