I went to a recital hall reading with my pops tonight given by Richard Price at the University at Albany. I'm only slightly familiar with the man's work (as in I watched Clockers about 10 years ago) and I'd really love to get started reading him, but I'm not sure where to begin. He read a few passages from Lush Life and I liked what I heard, but I'd like to start with his earlier writings before diving into his newer stuff. I was going to ask the man himself where he thought a Richard Price novice should begin, but the Q&A portion ended before I could get the question out. I know there are some fans of his 'round these parts, any recommendations?
Side note: at the reading my dad and I sat behind William Kennedy. Pretty fuckin' cool night.
