The campaign to smack you in the head with a Wiffle Ball bat until you give up and watch The Wire continues today, as series creator David Simon appears with writer Richard Price and actors Seth Gilliam (Sgt. Ellis Carver), Clark Johnson (Gus Haynes) and Amy Ryan (“Beadie”) to discuss the making of the HBO series. Your deadbeat boyfriend will love it! Steal his weed and take in “Walking with Dinosaurs:...

Fictional locations are utilized by authors as diverse as William Faulkner (Yoknapatawpha) and H. P. Lovecraft (Arkham). Imaginary towns like Castle Rock (Stephen King), Mud Creek (Joe R. Lansdale), Newford (Charles de Lint), Isola (Ed McBain) and Dempsy (Richard Price) — to name only a few — give their creators free reign to develop histories [...]
Yesterday I did a panel with Richard Price, and then I signed for (according to the newspapers )about six hundred people for five and a half hours. Normally I try very hard to be as nice to the people who've been waiting for hours as I was to the people at the beginning, but I think I may have been ordering the people at the back of the line around a bit just to make sure I finished before the Tom...
Here’s the dilemma. Tonight, the Shore Poets have an excellent programme of readers – Richard Price, Angela MacSevany, and Simon Pomery. It starts at 7.45pm. Tonight also is the final of Euro 2008 between Germany and Span, which starts at 7.45pm. So what should I do? It partly depends on getting a babysitter, but I might be able to do both if I record the match. That way, I can see the poets and then...
Richard Price and Simon Lewandowski introduce their rotating letter-cell installation Hotel/Motel/Motet at McCoy’s café yesterday. Geoff Squires and Christopher Reid look on, and four teenage girls crouch over their cappuccinos in awe, terror, delight, indifference and any other number of randomly unimaginable responses.
Forgot to link to this a while ago. Maybe you've already seen it. Similarly, two policemen, who are threatening a suspect with jail time, bait him by telling him that he won't get to be a father to his new baby: “Gonna be calling some other guy Daddy. . . . You'll be Uncle Plexiglas.” That last phrase does what metaphor should do: it acts as a fiction inside the larger fiction, speeding us toward the...
Former NBCC fiction finalist Richard Price had this suggestion for the NBCC Good Reads Spring 2008 list , recommendations by NBCC members, awards winners and finalists: Scott Spenser's “Willing ” in fiction. Although I perceive this book getting short shrift out there compared to some of his other novels, I just find that over the years his authorial voice is consistently charismatic, in this work...

... about cops and The Wire . (Hat tip, Paul Davis.) Can't say I'm impressed by his attitude toward cops, but then my father was a cop, and so is my nephew, so I guess I'm biased.

Anyone can write a reasonably interesting review of a book that’s bad. It’s much harder to write an entertaining review that says why a book is good. The current issue of the New York Review of Books has a review by Michael Chabon of Lush Life, the new novel by Richard Price, that manages to do just that. If you haven’t read any of Price’s novels but have seen HBO's The Wire (many episodes of which...
