Story4 out of 5 stars 29
East Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, pancaking the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city’s rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighborhood descends into chaos. At day’s end, six bodies are recovered, but many of the other tenants are missing. In Lazarus Man, Richard Price, one of the greatest chroniclers of life in urban America, creates intertwining portraits of a group of compelling and singular characters whose lives are permanently impacted by the disaster.

A sordid and sad tale
Reviewed: 11-24-24
After about 3 hours of listening I decided to not subject myself to any more. Perhaps there is some redemption later in the book but, for me, it isn’t worth wading through the muck to find out. These are a group of narcissistic characters who are mostly unable to interact as mature humans. Most of their interactions are confrontational. It is a pathetic commentary on our society.
