Genre: Book
Grade: A-
Notable People: Walter Mosely
Title: Rose Gold
Review: Unlike my last review that had very nice story written but a very mediocre writer, Mosley elevates each story, regardless of subject or genre, into a work of art. This entry picks up the Easy Rawlins series in LA, where it started post war and is now in the height of the 60s cultural revolution. Aside from being a great mystery, Mosely and Rawlins take head on the issues of race in America, in a way that is hard to ignore. Brilliantly crafted with a narrative that transports you to the explosive sense of late 60s Tinsel town. Mosley began writing the series 25 years ago and then went on hiatus for a decade but resumed few years ago. If you haven’t had the Easy Rawlins experience, you should.
