Price’s Price – Chris Maden
Price’s Price is set in a time and place – Hong Kong in the 1960s to 80s – where mental health issues were more often dismissed than discussed. The main character, Stanley Price, is a narcissist; secondary characters are pathological liars and nearly all confront some form of alcohol abuse. Although the main character narrates his story in a tone that he intends to be light-hearted, he not only spirals down but pulls others with him. Described by one reviewer as “a love letter to Hong Kong, albeit an unusual one,” you can make your own minds up!
