Shortlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction (2009) and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction (2008).

Lush Life is set in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where a young man is killed in a holdup, and the lives of a diverse cast of characters—including the victims, the perpetrators, and the police investigating the crime—intersect and collide. Through Richard Price's masterful portrayal of urban life, the novel explores themes of identity, community, and the struggle for survival in a city undergoing radical transformation. The story weaves together multiple perspectives to create a rich tapestry of voices and experiences that capture the complexity and humanity of modern New York City.
