Lush Life
by Richard Price
Author of Clockers.
A National Bestseller
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
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 to death by a street kd 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.
