Publisher's Summary

Novelists Richard Russo and Richard Price on this edition of Fresh Air. Russo won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel Empire Falls which was also a national best seller. His subject matter is working-class unpretentious people, but as one reviewer writes, he transforms "every day people and seemingly ordinary events - into the quintessential." He's written five novels in all, including Mohawk, The Risk Pool, and Nobody's Fool (which was made into a film starring Paul Newman). His latest book is a collection of stories, The Whore's Child and Other Stories.

Novelist Richard Price is the author of the best selling novels, Clockers, about life in the inner city world of drug dealing (which was made into a film), and Freedomland, which was inspired by a real life incident in which a woman alleged a black man carjacked her and took her two children. Price's latest book, Samaritan, is about a man who returns to the New Jersey town where he was raised and to teaching, and the bad consequences of his good intentions. Price also is a screenwriter with such notable films: Sea of Love, Ransom, and The Color of Money. (Original Broadcast Dates: August 19, 2002 and January 7, 2003)
