Caracteristici
The Whites is Richard Price's first thriller intended for a solidly commercial audience, written in a filmic narrative style that loosely mirrors the structure of a police report
Notă biografică
Richard Price has written eight novels which include Clockers, Freedomland, Samaritan and Lush Life. He is also an internationally renowned screenwriter for both film and television, having written among other works Sea of Love, Ransom, the Academy Award nominated The Color of Money and multiple episodes of The Wire. The Whites is his first straight-shot urban thriller. He lives in Harlem with his wife, the novelist Lorraine Adams.
Recenzii
Whether you call it a crime novel or a mystery novel or a giraffe with polka dots, is largely irrelevant - The Whites is, simply put, a great American novel
Riveting . He not only has a visceral ability to convey the gritty, day-to-day realities of their jobs, but also a knack for using their detective work the way John le Carré has used spy stories and tradecraft, as a framework on which to build complex investigations into the human soul
This book literally interrupted my professional and personal life. Once in, I had to stay in and stick with it to the end ... as unstoppable as a train coming through a tunnel ... It provides insight and knowledge, both rare qualities in the killing fields of the crime novel
The Whites is the crime novel of the year - grim, gutsy, and impossible to put down. I had to read the final 100 pages in a single sitting. I began being fascinated, and ended being deeply moved
One of Richard Price's best books yet
This is high-octane literature, with the best of Richard Price and his souped-up pseudonym Harry Brandt. Price/Brandt gets to the heart of those stories that everyone else refuses to tell. The Whites manages to patrol New York and deepen our sense of the city and all its dark corners
If a more powerful crime novel is published this year it will be a bleeding miracle
The Whites is a fine book about the corrupted moral universe in which his all-too-believable New York cops have to work . Billy is confronted by one hard choice after another as matters build to a tense finale
Magnificent, hugely complex tale of criminality, revenge and redemption
Price has constructed a maze of a novel that alternates between scenes of intense introspection and scenes driven by dialogue . The Whites doesn't race so much as lurch and careen along, often with little breathing space between frenetic action sequences, emotional outbursts, and sheer surprise, but Price takes time out for a gem of an interrogation scene
Electrifying . This is a fast-paced tale with well-written characters and a strong narrative
No less a judge than Stephen King calls this 'the crime novel of the year', and it is hard to disagree. Price is acknowledged as one of the great American writers, and this elegant, nuanced story of a rogue New York detective drawn back into the past by a murder in the present amply proves it . Price has brought ambiguity, self-doubt and fear among the police to life - as he again displays in this story of Billy Graves . This novel reveals Price's delicate skill at its finest - the author of eight novels, including the brutal clockers, as well as the films Sea of Love and The Color of Money, he is a legend, and deserves to be
