Paperback. mono. kultur #45 is our homage to the great mythical city that is New York. And who better to talk to about New York than the acclaimed novelist and screenwriter Richard Price? Best known for his gritty observations of urban life and a sharp ear for the rhythms of language, Price gained international attention with novels such as Clockers or Lush Life, and his work for numerous films and television serials, including The Night Of and The Wire.While Richard Prices novels are usually filed in the crime section, they easily transcend all genres with their precise and tender depictions of New York life on street level, dissecting the clash of different realities within the same block, listening in on the liars, the heroes, the killers, the killed, the stunned, the clownish, the helpless, the bereaved. Richard Price adopts a hands-on approach when it comes to research: hanging out in the neighborhood, talking to strangers and going for ride-alongs with cops to see a darker side of the city. In many ways, it is this wide-eyed curiosity that allows his books to be read as time capsules of a New York in constant flux, revealing an uncanny understanding for knowing exactly what people want, need, envy and resent about the cities they inhabit.In a conversation peppered with anecdotes and bebop, meandering from the Bronx, to Harlem, to the Lower East Side, Richard Price talked with mono. kultur about the need to live in order to write, working for Hollywood, and why hanging out is a professional matter.Visually, the conversation with Richard Price found its perfect sparring partner in a selection of stunning images by cab driver turned photographer Joseph Rodriguez, chronicling life in the latter half of the 1980s in Spanish Harlem. In the tradition of pulp novels, we are also proud to feature our very first ever foil embossed cover. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Read a long-from interview with magnificent crime author Richard Price
mono.kultur #45 is our homage to the great mythical city that is New York. And who better to talk to about New York than Richard Price? The acclaimed writer gained international attention with novels such as ‘Clockers’ and ‘Lush Life’, and his work for numerous films and television serials, including ‘The Night Of’ and ‘The Wire’. But what he is really known for are his gritty observations of urban life and sharp ear for the rhythms of language.
While his books are usually filed in the crime section, they easily transcend all genres with their precise and tender depictions of New York life on street level. Embracing multiple perspectives, his novels dissect the clash of different realities within the same block, listening in on ‘the liars, the heroes, the killers, the killed, the stunned, the clownish, the helpless, the bereaved.’
In a conversation peppered with anecdotes and bebop, Richard Price talked to mono.kultur about the need to live before one can hope to write, working for Hollywood, and why hanging out is a professional matter.
Visually, the conversation with Richard Price found its perfect sparring partner in a selection of New York images by cab driver turned photographer Joseph Rodriguez. And, just between us, we are proud to feature our very first ever foil embossed cover, in the honourable tradition of pulp novels.

Design by mono.studio
mono.kultur is an independent interview series based in Berlin. Our concept is as simple as it is elegant: one artist / one conversation / one issue. No more, no less. And so each publication is dedicated exclusively and entirely to one artist, edited with care and in close collaboration with the artist. Each issue is redesigned entirely around the artist and their work.
