Update Heftinhalt: Richard Price

Richard Price, Autor des Romans "Lush Life" und einiger Folgen der Serie "The Wire" (sehr viel mehr dazu im aktuellen CARGO-Heft), erklärt in einem aktuellen Interview unter anderem, wie er an den "Wire"-Job geriet. Außerdem geht es unter anderem ums Drehbuchschreiben überhaupt, seine Arbeit am "Lush Life"-Drehbuch im Besonderen, seinen Umzug nach Harlem und seinen nächsten Roman. Kurzer Auszug:

I could see the elements of "Clockers" in the first year especially, and that was fine with me, you know, it was flattering. But (David Simon, the show's creator) was taking it to so many different places and on so many different planes. And then about halfway through the second year, I did a reading in D.C. and he came with George Pelecanos and he said, "Do you want to write for the third season?" And my first thought was no, because I don't know anything more than "Clockers." I think they thought that I knew so much more than I wrote. But it was such a good show and I really wanted to be a part of it, so I did it.
