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.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Walter MosleyPublisher: Washington Square PressPublished: 10/01/1998ISBN: 9780671014995Pages: 208Weight: 0.43lbsSize: 8.22h x 5.40w x 0.57d
