George Pelecanos on Richard Price

George Pelecanos has an excellent essay on Richard Price over at the National Book Critics Circle blog.

Here's a snippet:

[Price's] books are a record of America at a certain time. David [Simon] and I have talked about this many times--we think that Clockers is The Grapes of Wrath of our generation. And I really feel that way. I think it’s as important a book.

Pelecanos also talks about how Price's writing helped open up his own novels to new themes and possibilities.

Definitely read the whole thing. It's not very long.

Hey, David

Thaks for the commentary by Dennis Lehane and George Pelecanos on Richard Price. Helluva trio, right?

You can get the raisins good and drunk because there’s no way your kids are going to eat these. They’re NOT cookies, declared the Preschooler. The Toddler spit out his mouthful in solidarity. Excellent. More for me. And if your husband should happen to hate raisins, well then, even better.
