Why read it?
1 author picked Ladies' Man as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I had never heard the name Richard Price. Then I connected the dots one day. He wrote one of my all-time favorite movies – The Color of Money – plus a handful of other New York set shaggy dog tales of lonesome losers.
I read The Wanderers, his most famous work, but I was most captivated by Ladies’ Man. Price has a skill for capturing male angst, sleaze, and lust, but none of his works compare to the engaging tale of a frustrated salesman. It is a hilarious, cringy, memorable read soaked in 1970s values.
