	Richard Price - LoveToKnow 1911
		RICHARD PRICE (1723-1791), English moral and political philosopher, son of a dissenting minister, was born on the 23rd of February 1723, at Tynton, Glamorganshire.
		One of Price's most intimate friends was Dr Priestley, in spite of the fact that they took the most opposite views on morals and metaphysics.
		Price's main point of difference with Cudworth is that while Cudworth regards the moral criterion as a v6nma or modification of the mind, existing in germ and developed by circumstances, Price regards it as acquired from the contemplation of actions, but acquired necessarily, immediatel",, intuitively.

	Richard Price Criticism
		Price's first book, The Wanderers … was not a great novel, but it was a stunning first novel (and not incidentally the first fiction to bring rock and roll into its characters' lives with the naturalness of Scorsese's Mean Streets).
		Price risks everything on the persuasiveness of his hero's voice, for the plot is static and the story has all the structure of a skin flick (which may be intentional).
		Richard Price, with a raunchy humor that smarts from the slap of reality, writes of growing up Italian in the Bronx during the early Sixties.

	"Samaritan" by Richard Price - Salon
		Richard Price's early novels -- for example, "The Wanderers" -- were influenced as much by such movies as "Rebel Without a Cause" and "The Wild One" as they were by the fiction of one of Price's heroes, Hubert Selby Jr.
		But ever since Price returned to fiction with the series of social-realist novels that began with "Clockers" and continued with "Freedomland" and the new "Samaritan," it's been common to hear people say that the novelist has forfeited the "voice" of his first novels for the "messages" of his recent work.
		Whatever the reason, the kind of novel Richard Price writes, an investigation into the workings of inner-city life -- the way that life traps people, the price they pay to get out -- is not fashionable at the moment.

		The answer and its violent aftermath are equally inevitable, as Price snares the surface and the substance of America caught in a slow-motion riot of racial rage.
		Price's experience as a screenwriter (The Color of Money, etc.) shows in the predictable dramatic arc of his tale, but the novel is no less powerful for its popular bent.
		Richard Price is obviously interested in characters, what motivates them, what can make a broken-down woman tell a calculated lie and send an entire city spinning into an inferno.

		Price writes with a great ear for dialogue and an uncanny ability to portray life in the inner-city.
		Price's earlier strong work made the appearance of "Samaritan" the occasion of some anticipation, but for me the novel failed to deliver the expected punch.
		Well, other readers might have enjoyed the liberties Price takes, but for this reader, a series of speeches by the characters and long narrative expositions of what happened years ago is a prescription for a stagnant narrative, no matter now masterful the writer.

		Price gives all of his important characters vivid back-stories, important details of their lives and psyches, all of which may seem to some readers as unnecessary belaboring, but nonetheless clue us in to exactly what kind of people we are dealing with at certain points in the story.
		Simply put, Price makes us care about his characters and their various states because everything about them is real, filled with a kind of depth and humanity that can only be pulled off by an accomplished writer with an eye for the intricacies of human life.
		The pain is felt by both: the child rejected by the adult and the adult rejected by the child, and the pain is felt heavily because the sacred relationship between father and daughter should be one of care, and not of heartache.
