Summary
Richard Price: Samaritan
Richard Price, a master of translating the hopelessness and ruthlessness of today's America into hard, fascinating prose, after a four-year writing break, returns to the streets of Dempsy, New Jersey. Dempsey may be fictional, but he is immediately recognizable as a mirror of the reality of the forgotten corners of today's America.
Along with Price, his protagonist, Ray Mitchell, returns. Ray, a former television scriptwriter, wants to make up for what he missed in his relationship with his daughter Ruby - and help his hometown as much as he can. Out of a genuine Samaritan urge, Ray begins volunteering as a creative writing teacher at a local high school. When, after an unexpected, violent attack, Ray ends up in intensive care with a fractured skull, his old friend Nerese, a police investigator about to retire, begins to investigate a seemingly insignificant case, revealing the face of the city he lives in, and perhaps the background of Ray's apparently naive charity...
As an excellent combination of a social novel and a suspenseful detective crime, it reveals to Croatian readers the face of urban American reality, as well as one of its true storytelling masters.
