this week's new author recommendation is Richard Price.
just finished reading Lush Life, his latest. He wrote Clockers and The
Wanderers, both made it to the movies. also did the screenplay for The Color Of
Money (oscar nominated), Sea of Love, Shaft, some episodes of The Wire.
Entertainment Weekly said Lush Life was the best crime novel of the year. read
somewhere that in some distant future, when the natives want to know the dialect
of the underclass in 2000-ish NYC, they will turn to Price's novels.

while I thought it was good, and the dialogue gritty and harsh, I still
like Pelacanos better (my DC bias). but it's worth a read.
