Richard Price, author of "Samaritan" and "Clockers""The Full Cleveland" is a sharp, wry, sometimes insane portrait of a supersized Catholic clan living in the suburbs circa 1970. The writing is eagle-eyed, both indicting and forgiving, the characters rich and resonant. Terry Reed is a fresh and vivid voice on the American scene.
Terry Reed wrote the original screenplay for the independent film Cherry, released in 2000. A graduate of the Columbia University MFA Writing Program, she lives in New York City.
