Recensione:
"Mournful, insightful, and mystical. It is also Mosley's best work of fiction." (Elle)
"A wonderful book...[with] characters who seem as real as the reader." (Denver Post)
"Mosley has constructed a perfect Socrates for millennium's end -- a principled man who finds that the highest meaning of life can be attained through self-knowledge, and who convinces others of the power and value of looking within." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Powerful...hard-hitting, unrelenting, poignant short fiction." (Booklist)
"Mosley's style suits his subject perfectly. The prose is sand-papery, the sentence rhythms often rough and jabbing. But then -- sudden surprise -- we come upon moments of undefended lyricism." (Sven Birkerts, The New York Times Book Review)
"Unveiling a new, bigger-than-life urban hero...Mosley...confer[s] on the mean streets of contemporary L.A. what filmmaker John Ford helped create for the American West: a gun-slinging mythology of street justice and a gritty, elegiac code of honor...A maverick protagonist." (Publishers Weekly)
"Tough but touching stories." (Playboy)
"An insistently probing, philosophical gem...set in a world where standard notions of right and wrong have been blown to hell." (Sonoma County Independent)
"The work of a writer unafraid of pushing forward his own notions of responsibility and entitlement." (The Los Angeles Times Book Review)

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley introduces an "astonishing character" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) in this acclaimed collection of entwined tales. Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles--and finding the miracle of survival. "I either committed a crime or had a crime done to me every day I was in jail. Once you go to prison you belong there." Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his huge, rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. Working for the Bounty supermarket, and moving perilously close to invisibility, it is Socrates who throws a lifeline to a drowning man: young Darryl, whose shaky path is already bloodstained and fearsome. In a place of violence and hopelessness, Socrates offers up his own battle-scarred wisdom that can turn the world around. Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles. "New York Times" bestselling author Walter Mosley presents his most compelling character since Easy Rawlins in "Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned"--soon to be an HBO movie starring Laurence Fishburne. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780671014995
