       2020., Grove Press, an imprint of Grove Atlantic Call No: BLK Fic Mos   Edition: First edition. First Grove Atlantic hardcover edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Bestselling author Walter Mosley has proven himself a master of narrative tension, both with his extraordinary fiction and gripping writing for television. The Awkward Black Man collects seventeen of Mosley's most accomplished short stories to display the full range of his remarkable talent. Mosley presents distinct characters as they struggle to move through the world in each of these stories - heroes who are awkward, nerdy, self-defeating, self-involved, and, on the whole, odd. He overturns the stereotypes that corral black male characters and paints a subtle, powerful portrait of each of these unique individuals.

His adopted daughter Feather's white uncle shows up uninvited, unsettling the life Easy has forged for her. Where Feather sees a family reunion, Easy suspects something else, something that will break his heart.

       2016., Adult, Doubleday Call No: MYS Fic Mos   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Easy Rawlins mysteries   Volume: 14Summary Note: "Picking up where his last adventures in Rose Gold left off in L.A. in the late 1960s, Ezekiel 'Easy' Rawlins finds his life in transition. He<U+2019>s ready--finally--to propose to his girlfriend, Bonnie Shay, and start a life together. And he<U+2019>s taken the money he got from the Rose Gold case and, together with two partners, Saul Lynx and Tinsford 'Whisper' Natly, has started a new detective agency. But, inevitably, a case gets in the way: Easy<U+2019>s friend Mouse introduces him to Rufus Tyler, a very old man everyone calls Charcoal Joe. Joe<U+2019>s friend<U+2019>s son, Seymour (young, bright, top of his class in physics at Stanford), has been arrested and charged with the murder of a white man from Redondo Beach. Joe tells Easy he will pay and pay well to see this young man exonerated, but seeing as how Seymour literally was found standing over the man<U+2019>s dead body at his cabin home, and considering the racially charged motives seemingly behind the murder, that might prove to be a tall order. Between his new company, a heart that should be broken but is not, a whole raft of new bad guys on his tail, and a bad odor that surrounds Charcoal Joe, Easy has his hands full, his horizons askew, and his life in shambles around his feet."--From publisher.

       2008., Bloomsbury : Distributed to the trade by Macmillan Call No: Fic Mos   Edition: 1st U.S. ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your LibraryClick here to watch    Click here to view Summary Note: Ben Dibbuk has a good job, an accomplished wife, a bright college-age daughter, and a patient young mistress. Even as he goes through the motions of everyday life, however, inside he feels nothing. The explanation for this emotional void lies in the years he spent as a blacked-out drunk before pulling his life together--years in which he knows he committed acts he doesn't remember. Then a woman from his past turns up at a gala for his wife's new gig at a magazine called Diablerie and makes it clear that she remembers something he doesn't. Their encounter sets wheels in motion that will propel Dibbuk toward new knowledge, and perhaps the chance to feel again.--From amazon.com.

       c2001., Little, Brown Edition: eBook ed.    Summary Note: Narrator Paris Minton is an appealing figure an easygoing black man for whom the written word is salvation and whose nameless used bookstore in Watts is paradise. Then the beautiful Elana Love enters his store and brings with her more trouble than Paris has ever seen enough trouble that Paris knows his only hope is his friend Fearless Jones. A former soldier, Jones is a riveting new creation. He's a man of both principle and action with an innate sense of justice and as his name makes clear, he's afraid of nothing. The novel rips along with a hunt for the girl and a race among competing factions to find a missing bond that's the key to a fortune. For the black characters it's a desperate struggle to stay alive in a white world where the deck is stacked. One sly reference tells the reader we're still in the same world and time inhabited by Easy Rawlins, and that Fearless and Mouse are equally "bad." But Fearless is also a knight-errant and hopefully destined for further adventures as fine as this one.
