Richard Price | The Whites
Capturing “the rhythm, tone, and evanescent vocabulary of urban life” (The New York Review of Books), Richard Price’s gritty crime novels include The Wanderers, Lush Life and Clockers. He is the screenwriter of Sea of Love, Ransom, the television show The Wire, and The Color of Money, for which he received an Oscar nomination. The recipient of the 1999 American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, Price has taught writing at Columbia, Yale, and NYU. The Whites tells a story of corruption, redemption, the bad old days, and friendships forged in a crucible far beyond the Thin Blue Line.
