And who better to talk to about New York than Richard Price? The acclaimed writer gained international attention with novels such as Clockers and Lush Life, and his work for numerous films and television serials, including The Night Of and The Wire. But what he is really know\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003en for are his gritty observations of urban life and sharp ear for the rhythms of language. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile his books are usually filed in the crime section, they easily transcend all genres with their \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eprecise and tender depictions of New York life on street level. Embracing multiple perspectives, his novels dissect the clash of different realities within the same block, listening in on ‘the liars, the heroes, the killers, the killed, the stunned, the clownish, the helpless, the bereaved.’ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen it comes to research, Richard Price adopts a hands-on approach: hanging out in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edifferent neighbourhoods, talking to strangers and going for ride-alongs with cops to see a darker side of the city. In many ways, it is this wide-eyed curiosity that allows his books to be read as time capsules of a New York in constant flux, revealing an uncanny understanding for knowing exactly what people want, need, envy and resent about the cities they inhabit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn a conversation peppered with anecdotes and bebop, Richard Price talked to mono.kultur about the need to live in order to write, working for Hollywood, and why hanging out is a professional matter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisually, the conversation with Richard Price found its perfect sparring partner in a selection of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eimages by cab driver turned photographer Joseph Rodriguez.
