Lush Life - Paperback

by Richard Price (Author)

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.
