Richard Price
Whenever people asked him, Eric Cash used to have a dozen answers: artist, actor, screenwriter....But now he's 35 years old and he's still living downtown, still in the restaurant business, working night shifts and serving the people he always wanted to be. What does Eric do? He manages. Not like Ike Marcus. Ike Marcus had what the Lower East Side wanted: he was young, good-looking, people liked him. Ask him what he did, and he wouldn't say "tend bar". He was going places, and he was going to live forever - until two street kids stepped up to him and Eric on Eldridge Street one night and pulled a gun. Ike's last words were "Not tonight, my man".
At least, that's Eric's version.

listen, don't read

What did you love best about Lush Life?
Bobby Cannavale. His narration of the books I've listened to are excellent. He makes any character he's reading come to life in a way that you wish you knew that person in real life!How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have tried to make better distinctions between the events. Everything seemed to roll into each other and with Bobby doing ALL the characters, it got a little confusing as to who was "speaking" and what event they were at or covering.What does Bobby Cannavale bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is extremely good at bringing the characters to life in each of his books. (Bobby - PLEASE PLEASE go back to being Michael Bennett !!)If you could take any character from Lush Life out to dinner, who would it be and why?
None. I would take Bobby to dinner.Any additional comments?
Not so much about the book other than to say that it would have been a much better listen if more distinctions had been made regarding who was speaking, where they were and what they were dealing with at the time. It just all seemed to run into each other and you couldn't tell the difference until they said "Lugo said" or "Matty commented" , etc.I love Bobby Cannavale but.....

Great narration by Bobby Canavale

Narrator was brilliant and made the characters come alive. Too gritty for a steady diet, but masterfully written.
