Lush Life, by Richard Price
Thirty-five year-old Eric has a bit of talent and a few skills – he is one of many living on New York’s Lower East Side. He starred in an underground play and had a story published in a now obsolete literary magazine. But ten years have passed since then, and with them his dream of a lush and successful life. He now writes screenplays on commission and manages the Berkmann restaurant. Lush Life begins with a murder and ends with an arrest and a guilty confession. Yet the book only appears to be a crime novel, just like Price only seems to be a noir writer. Russell Banks called Price a modern Balzac for his ability to create a contemporary human story that confronts reality without every lowering its gaze.
Following the meeting, at 9 pm. in the Bibliomediateca 'Mario Gromo', via Matilde Serao 8/A, the new multimedial space of Museo Nazionale del Cinema, the last movie based on Richard Price's novel Freeedomland will be screened.
