In this episode of the Books for Men podcast, host Douglas Vigliotti discusses the novel Lush Life by Richard Price. Vigliotti describes it as a police procedural set in the lower East side of Manhattan but also emphasizes that it is more than just a crime novel. He praises the writing style of Price, noting that it moves at a rapid pace. Vigliotti also highlights the book's multi-perspective approach, which provides a comprehensive view of the murder and the socio-economic issues of inner-city life. He believes that this novel is one of the best he has ever read and encourages listeners to read it as well. He also delves into the importance of reading a variety of books, not just the latest and most popular ones. The episode concludes with a reminder to share the podcast with others and visit the website for more information.
