<div>A &ldquo;vigorous, tough&rdquo; novel that &ldquo;dramatizes so well the awful power of family,&rdquo; by the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of The Whites and Clockers (The Atlantic Monthly). Eighteen-year-old Stony De Coco has to make a choice: either join his father in the tightly knit world of New York&rsquo;s construction unions or take off and find his own path. But Stony&rsquo;s family is not about to make that choice easy. As he struggles to protect his little brother, Albert, from their dangerously unbalanced mother, and to postpone the difficult adult responsibilities that await him, he finds hope in a job working with children at a hospital&mdash;a job that promises not to make anyone happy but Stony. &ldquo;For all of its surface violence, blunt language and brute realism,&rdquo; this story of working-class life in the Bronx &rdquo;is a most subtle book. A sharp portrait of coming-of-age, in sorrow and in strength&rdquo; (The Washington Post Book World). &ldquo;Richard Price is the greatest writer of dialogue, living or dead, this country has ever produced.&rdquo; &mdash;Dennis Lehane</div>

Bloodbrothers

<div>The &ldquo;extraordinary&rdquo; novel of a teenage gang in the 1960s Bronx, by the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Clockers and The Whites (Newsweek). The basis for the feature film, The Wanderers tells the story of teenagers on the streets of New York City, coming of age and drifting apart. Tormented by cold-hearted girls and cold-blooded ten-year-olds, maniacal rivals and murderous parents, they are caught between juveniles and adults in a gritty novel filled with &ldquo;switchblade prose&rdquo; and &ldquo;dialogue [that] has the immediacy of overheard subway conversation&rdquo;&mdash;from an award-winning author renowned for his writing on HBO&rsquo;s The Wire and The Night Of, as well as such modern-day classics as Lush Life and Bloodbrothers (Newsweek). &ldquo;A kind of teenage Godfather with its own tight structure of morality, loyalty, survival, and reprisal.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Free Press &ldquo;The flip side of American Graffiti . . . an amalgam of sex, violence, and humor, glued together with superb dialogue and unsentimental sensitivity.&rdquo; &mdash;Rolling Stone &ldquo;A superbly written book . . . insights that allow us&mdash;at times force us&mdash;to feel closer to other human beings whether we like and approve of them or not.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review</div>

The Wanderers

<div>The New York Times&ndash;bestselling author&rsquo;s &ldquo;harrowing&rdquo; novel about a cop and a crack dealer&mdash;the basis for the acclaimed Spike Lee film (The New York Times). Rocco Klein, a veteran homicide detective in a New Jersey city just outside Manhattan, has lost his appetite for the wild drama of the street. When a warm June night brings yet another drug murder, Klein has no sense that the case is anything special. A black twenty-year-old steps forward to confess, but a little digging reveals that he&rsquo;s never been in any kind of trouble, whereas his brother runs a crew of street-corner cocaine dealers&mdash;clockers&mdash;in a nearby housing project. Soon Klein is sure that Victor Dunham is innocent, sure that his brother, Strike, is the real killer. And suddenly Rocco&rsquo;s hunger for the job is back. At once an explosive murder mystery and a riveting portrait of two lives on a collision course, Clockers is a gritty tale of suspense from the award-winning screenwriter for HBO&rsquo;s The Wire, a New York Times&ndash;bestselling novelist who &ldquo;gets so deep under the skin of both the cops and the clockers that it&rsquo;s hard to believe he himself has never been either&rdquo; (People). &ldquo;Page after page explodes with prose as vivid as kinetic art.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune &ldquo;Powerful . . . Harrowing . . . Remarkable.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Triumphant . . . An astounding accomplishment.&rdquo; &mdash;The Philadelphia Inquirer</div>

Clockers

<div>&ldquo;Nothing less than a riveting snapshot of life in the &lsquo;modern world,&rsquo; particularly New York.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist Mark Jacobson has published pieces in Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, Esquire, and more. His journalistic beats range far and wide, delving into the realms of politics, sports, and celebrities in pieces on such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Julius Erving, Chuck Berry, Pam Grier (in her Scream Blacula Scream days), Martin Scorsese, and many others. But for Jacobson, New York City has always been topic number one. Jacobson tells the story of the city in these classic essays covering three decades&mdash;from the beginnings of punk rock back in the times of &ldquo;pre-gentrification&rdquo; to the heart-wrenching days of 9/11. &ldquo;A brilliant collection by one of our most valuable journalists.&rdquo; &mdash;Pete Hamill Includes a foreword by Richard Price</div>

Teenage Hipster in the Modern World

<div>The famed account of 18th-century slavery in South America, “made more readable by moderate editorial changes . . . A well-accomplished abridgment” (Colonial Latin American Historical Review). This abridgment of Richard and Sally Price’s acclaimed 1988 critical edition is based on John Gabriel Stedman’s original, handwritten manuscript, which offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic. The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of colonial life—and one of the strongest indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.</div>
