Lush Life by Richard Price
5.0
Great Altmanesque novel about the post 9/11 lower east side.
It's a crime novel but only in the loosest sense, as the main themes is how little good the detectives detecting actually does. Instead it uses the murder to set off a bomb that reverberates in all the classes, races, and religions that have some how packed themselves into this single neighborhood.
A great kaleidoscopic piece of atmosphere and character.
