This is an illuminating collection of interviews with critically acclaimed and best-selling author Walter Mosley. Since the 1990 publication of his first novel, "Devil in a Blue Dress", Walter Mosley has published more than thirty books in a tremendous range of genres and modes: crime and detective fiction, science fiction, literary novels of ideas, character studies, political and social nonfiction, erotica, and memoir. Best known for his "Easy Rawlins" detective series and "Socrates Forlow" series of crime novels, Mosley has created a body of work that as a whole chronicles and examines twentieth-century African American experience. "Conversations with Walter Mosley" covers the breadth of Mosley's career and reveals a craftsman and witty conversationalist. Conscious of his forebears as well as literary techniques, he discusses favourites and influences including Camus, Shakespeare, and Dickens as well as writers in popular genres, especially speculative fiction and the hard-boiled noir detective tradition.
