Book Description

Award-winning author Richard Price offers a viscerally affecting and accomplished portrait of inner-city America.

Veteran homicide detective Rocco Klein's passion for the job gave way long ago. His beat is a rough New Jersey neighborhood where the drug murders blur together ... until the day Victor Dunham -- a twenty-year-old with a steady job and a clean record -- confesses to a shooting outside a fast-food joint. It doesn't take long for Rocco's attention to turn to Victor's brother, a street-corner crack dealer named Strike who seems a more likely suspect for the crime. At once an intense mystery, and a revealing study of two men on opposite sides of an unwinnable war, Clockers is a stunningly well-rendered chronicle of modern life on the streets.

Excellent writing that will give you an education.......2007-08-12

After more than a half-dozen competent novels and five or so barely adequate screenplays (Color of Money, for example) Richard Price finally hits his writing stride with Clockers: a literary novel with a murder mystery hook. Price writes like a great actor presenting a one-man show who can play dozens of different characters flawlessly, and since this is a 'psychological' novel as well as a literary one, gets into their heads. Richard Price hit the streets rather than the books in researching the world of inner city drug dealing, and captures the fatal vision of its denizens. But it is his talent that enables him to write this well where other observers might fail. Behind the gold chains and gang bang demeanors of the drug traders, he shows through precise depictions of inner life and the tactile rendering of place the banality behind the boasting, the fear behind the facade of doomed people who are 'as grasshoppers' in the world at large(from the epigram--the Book of Numbers). This refers to the inability of people to challenge the status quo regardless of how depraved it is, and how hard it is to imagine the world outside if you've always been inside. Price shows that few beat the streets and the ones who do aren't necessarily the ones you expect to. I'd put Richard Price along with Peter Dexter and the non-Maigret Simenon as the master's of depicting the inner and outer lives of desperate crazed characters who just can't help it. There's a term in anthropology that is useful for this type of depiction-thick description. This book has it over most anthropologist or sociology tracts.

Ultimately unsatisfying.......2006-05-10

Like everybody else, I have to use the word "gritty" too to describe the realism and the colourful, detailed descriptions of the drug dealers. However, I am siding with the minority here who found the book boring. If a book for you must be more than about character, then I think you will also find this book tedious because the development of the plot is so slow as to be almost irrelevant. The characters are all unappealing and blithely accept the roles in which life has cast them seemingly without benefit of self-reflection or humanity. Maybe that's the way it is but it makes it difficult to empathise or care what happens to them.

Stunning mastery of setting and character.......2006-03-08

This was my first reading of Price. I'm a reader who likes literary genre fiction and generally, I think it is hard to come by. Price is a master writer who creates the most vivid worlds I have read since James Lee Burke, and in fact, really gets more gritty than Burke. I think most of what I would say has been very well covered in other reviews. The one thing I would mention is the absolutely beautiful opposite but parallel characters Price offers here. Strike and Rocco are both lost souls, just in different environs; they are both looking for a reason to believe, to hope, and in their worlds that's a lot to ask. I also enjoyed the way Price picked up the pace for the last one hundred pages. My only complaint (and it's a minor one): for me, the book was longer than it needed to be. 400 pages, great. 500, maybe. But by six hundred I had heard about Strike's stomach and Rocco's insecurity a bit too much. Good stuff.

A Provocative, Chilling Portrait of Life In The Projects .......2005-02-13

Ronald "Strike" Dunham, a product of the grim, gritty inner city projects, has recently been promoted to "clocker," a street corner crack dealer. He's a bright kid who dreams of cutting-out from his dead-end existence someday. At nineteen, Strike's world is all about economic survival on the streets. He runs drug crews for Rodney, his kingpin boss. Unfortunately, Strike is not able to slough off the hassles of the daily hustle. He is already a man of means with teenage employees who report to him, and more worldly cares than he can handle. He suffers from stomach ulcers and is constantly drinking vanilla Yoo-Hoos to soothe the almost constant pain. Then Rodney asks him to kill another clocker who is skimming money. He tells Strike that this hit will be the key to getting ahead in the organization.

Rocco Klein is a burnt-out, middle-aged homicide detective who drinks too much and has the home life from hell. He too dreams of a better future, while patrolling the rough New Jersey neighborhoods where drug killings are almost a daily occurrence. When yet another homicide occurs, a young man with two jobs, a clean record, and a family, confesses to shooting the street tough. Klein does not believe for a minute that twenty year-old Victor Dunham is guilty. However, he likes Victor's brother, Strike, for the job. He pressures Strike to either confess or to give up the real killer. The ulcers are about ready to perforate with the stress of Klein leaning on him, his homicidal boss threatening violence, his brother and family all on his case, and the possibility of a drug war over turf on the horizon. "Clockers" is an intense mystery and a provocative chronicle of life on the mean streets. Whodunnit and the motive is almost impossible to guess.

Richard Price paints a provocative portrait of life in inner city America like no other. "Clockers" is set in the fictional town of Dempsey, NJ, a bleak, claustrophobic ghetto where escape is almost impossible, and black-on-black crime is prevalent. He depicts the details of everyday existence for dealers, customers and cops, clearly, believably, with street language that rings true. The dialogue is vivid and gives his characters even more depth and realism. I have never met a fictional character with the pathos and poignancy of Strike, an extraordinarily complex figure who is impossible to pigeonhole.

Price uses two central protagonists, polar opposites, who are forced to interact throughout the novel. The author discussed the use of these central figures in an interview: "I wanted to create a situation where people are the products of their sides and because of a crisis are thrown into each other. And they are forced to empathize well beyond the point where they thought they would be, and then they get tripped up by what they absorb. The journey becomes the destination." "Clockers" was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. This is a superb novel which I highly recommend.

Richard Price is the author of six novels and numerous screenplays, including The Color of Money, Sea of Love, and Ransom. In 1999, he received the Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

"Crime and Punishment," ca. 1992........2004-06-24

I first stumbled onto Richard Price with a fifty-cent used copy of "Ladies' Man." It was engaging and fun, kind of like an unusually smart episode of Seinfeld with an NC-17 rating. It convinced me to give "Blood Brothers" a try and after that, forget it. I went forward to "Samaritan," back to "The Wanderers," and tracked down copies of his screenplays in between. I couldn't read enough of this guy.

However, Clockers remains Price's grand achievement to date. It's a crime novel of unusual depth that bears more in common with Dostoevsky than Elmore Leonard. Some reviewers have said Clockers fails as a mystery. I'll be the first to agree: as a genre mystery, Clockers does fail. But it's not a genre mystery. It's a map of the landscape, both urban and personal. It's a novel of morals and it's a tragedy. Price follows the drug-dealing Strike and detective Klein as their stories head inevitably towards collision. Both men are working to do the right thing, but are put directly at odds by forces out of their control. This is tragic to the capital T. Price accomplishes many astonishing feats here, not the least of which include making the world of Demsey real enough to touch and developing deep sympathy and understanding for both Strike and Klein without ever trading his gritty style for schmaltz. Price has incredible powers of observation, his eye for character and ear for dialogue, doubtless honed by his time working in housing project administration.

I absolutely disagree with the reviewer who claims that Price falls short of Lethem, Gibson, and Leonard. Perhaps, if you evaluate a book solely by slickness and cleverness, he doesn't measure up, but Clockers has more heart than Jake LaMotta and Price has an eye for detail that would put the Splendid Splinterer himself to shame. Don't get me wrong: I really loved Motherless Brooklyn, Out of Sight, and Virtual Light, but those books are empty in comparison.

Finally, I think Spike Lee's film adaptation was deeply flawed and does not do the novel justice, primarily because there's too much in Clockers to fit into a feature film. This problem was only exacerbated by the fact that Lee fragmented the film by bringing in his own soapbox issues (violence in video games, the need for strong parental figures) to crowd out more important plot elements. Even if you didn't like the movie, give the book a chance. And then go watch "Sea of Love," a Price screenplay that was done well.

From the supplier: Spike Lee's 'Clockers' is his first film on life in the urban ghetto. It is by far his most well-made film, but ironically, it did not make a box-office hit. Part of the reason for this is that Lee refused to give what the public wanted, which was the usual Hollywood fare of sensationalized violence. 'Clockers' is not even political in the sense that it focuses on oppressive racial relations. It is rather moral, and the issue is directed to the Blacks, specifically to the Blacks who destroy other Blacks through drugs, guns and easy money in drug dealing.

Book Description

Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of fable, legend or folklore.

They stand comparison in wit, construction and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little known in the modern world that no technical or popular term exist to describe them. For centuries, dervish masters have instructed their disciples by means of these tales, which are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the ordinary man.

These are teaching stories in the Sufi tradition. Those who probe beyond the surface will find multiple meanings to challenge assumptions and foster new ways of thinking and perceiving.

Sold all over the world in many languages, this is deservedly a classic and an essential reading for anyone interested in Sufi thought, the significance and history of tales, or simply superb entertainment.

A delightful collection of Aesop like tales.......2007-08-27

My favorite stories in this wonderful anthology are: "The Dervish and the Grammarian" and "Three Pieces of Advise." In the former a dervish is trying to help a grammarian who is stuck. The grammarian gets hung up on correcting the dervish's grammar. Finally, the dervish gives up. The latter I came across previously in Ellen Frankel's Jewish folktales. The dervish version is a bit more explicit: A bird offers to give three pieces of valuable advice in exchange for its freedom. As the bird flies away it tells the man: "Do not regret any lose" and "Never believe anything contrary to common sense without proof." In this version the bird flies away before giving the 3rd piece of wisdom.

Worth it for the origin of the "Bottle Genie" story alone.......2006-11-29

When I have kids, and when they are old enough to like stories, I'm going to read them these stories. Of course, these stories are far grander and deeper than children's stories, but the surface is where one starts.

A very remarkable book........2006-11-12

I found "Tales of the Dervishes" by accident in a New York City bookstore. What caught my eye was the very striking red-on-white geometric design on its cover. I read the first story (about some fish) but didn't really understand it, so I went on to the second story, called "The Food of Paradise":

"Yunus, the son of Adam, decided one day not only to cast his life in the balance of fate, but to seek the means and reason of the provision of goods for man.

"`I am', he said to himself, `a man. As such I get a portion of the world's goods, every day. This portion comes to me by my own efforts, coupled with the efforts of others. By simplifying this process, I shall find the means by which sustenance comes to mankind, and learn something about how and why. I shall therefore adopt the religious way, which exhorts man to rely on almighty God for his sustenance. Rather than live in the world of confusion, where food and other things come apparently through society, I shall throw myself on the direct support of the Power that rules over all. The beggar depends upon intermediaries: charitable men and women who are subject to secondary impulses. They give goods or money because they have been trained to do so. I shall accept no indirect contribution.'

"So saying, he walked into the countryside, throwing himself upon the support of invisible forces with the same resolution with which he had accepted the support of visible ones when he had been a teacher in a school."

I was completely rapt. The situation was so striking, the question so basic, and the tale so direct and unmistakable as to its intent, and told with such benevolence and good humor, that I gladly gave up the money I'd been saving for a good meal somewhere, in order to find out what happened to Yunus, son of Adam. I caught the bus, found a seat, and started again from the beginning, reading every sentence twice....

What are these tales? You'll enjoy the skill of the storyteller and the beautiful, unselfconscious English of the translator. The plots can be simple or intricate, surprising, contradictory, tragic or wildly funny. The characters are ordinary people with a typical mixture of strengths and weaknesses, together with wise fools, kings, mule-drivers, bakers, students, sages, married couples, tyrants, beautiful princesses and terrible ogres; the stories evince a kind of fairy-tale realism which is used with skill and to great effect.

But the tales aren't content to just amuse, but work subtly and in almost inexplicable ways to uncover and dislodge hidden prejudice and deepen the understanding. They won't all speak to you equally, some you'll puzzle over for a lifetime--I bought that book-store copy nearly forty years ago--but then there are the three or four or half dozen which speak to you directly and seem to have been written for you and no one else.

"Tales of the Dervishes" is a remarkable book. I recommend it highly.

Best book to open the windows in your brain.......2005-01-29

After 10+ years of reading the stories in this book, I still come away with a different level of understanding of each story with each passing year. A master storyteller, Idries Shah's writing reaches right into the very thought processes that make you who you think you are and then snaps you into remembering who you really are on Earth and beyond. Like an onion, the stories all have multiple layers. Only with time do they reveal themselves. Good for the beginner as well as the most advanced --

Dare to question everything.......2002-06-11

Stories that will shake your assumptions and strict belief in the established, conventional, trusted and safe relationship between cause and effect. These stories, if nothing else, open your mind to a different way of thinking. By doing that, it awakens parts of your brain that normally stay dormant. A fresh look at everyday occurrences, unquestioned practices and established thought-processes. It has an invigorating value. You don't have to 'believe' anything the author says: he is not selling anything, not even ideas. Just read and observe what happens to yourself, since these stories are about you.

Storytelling with a purpose.......2001-07-18

Tales of the Dervishes is just that, Sufi tales dating back almost 2000 years. Lovers of first-rate storytelling will find this collection especially enjoyable. These stories, many of them written by classical masters, have been masterfully retold by Shah in his usual elegant precise prose. However these engaging tales are also Sufi teaching-stories, specially constructed to impart and preserve Sufi concepts. Many of the stories in this collection are followed by brief comments by Shah adding historical perspective and/or insight to the particular purpose of the tale. As with everything Shah writes, these appealing stories keep delivering insights and entertainment even after many readings.

A book that "does" something.............1998-02-03

Tales of the Dervishes was my first experience of Shah's works. People sometimes describe a book as "having changed their lives." This was my experience with Shah and more. The concept of a book that "does" something is not common to our culture. Shah has the abililty to place the reader in a "paralell" world as it were; a world where our typical expectations and assumptions about cause and effect no longer operate. It is a world organized at a more subtle yet powerful level. Shah's work introduces his reader to that world in ways the reader himself cannot imagine at the time. I highly recommend this, and Shah's others books.

I have had this book for probably almost ten years. It's my favorite and a favorite gift for weddings. It's a lovingly written account by Rev. Charlie Shedd of the life of his wife and the "Fun in Marriage" workshops they did together. You finish this book wishing you had personally known Martha, knowing your life would have been a bit better and a bit sweeter for it. Each time I read this book I walk away with something new to apply to my life and there are parts I repeat to myself occasionally. No other book has even touched me this way.
