A review by markfeltskog
Ladies' Man by Richard Price

Richard Price uncannily captures, in his early novels, and in this one particularly, a specific milieu, to wit working class "white ethnics" (as they are euphemistically known) in the North Bronx. What makes these novels summoning is that despite their very particular settings, they engage universal issues. That is, after all, what literature does. Highly recommended, like The Wanderers, Bloodbrothers, and The Breaks.
