Richard Price's new novel Lush Life is just out. He wrote the book "Clockers" which was subsequently made into a movie (a Spike Lee joint) and was the basis for the HBO series The Wire. He contributed to several episodes of The Wire. The "G'nite moon" scene was right out of Clockers, I believe.
Price recently spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. Very interesting and entertaining man. He lives in New York (setting of Lush Life) and speaks like he lives in New York. He also wrote the screenplays for "Sea of Love" , "The Color of Money" and "Shaft" among others. An amazing talent!
