The same but different

Hi girls and one boy

I’m sure the neo-noir or hardboiled literature is not my favourite style, but I think Mosley is a discovery, mainly because he is able to use a well known style with all noir cliché, but in a different way. Easy not only solves mysteries, he confronts danger in a cool way, but he is also an antihero, marginalized and no-prototype (in the novel he just would like some money to pay a mortgage and he aspire to live a quiet life in his new house and to work).
I also found interesting the way the author tries to enter deeply as much as possible to the negroes lifestyle in the 40s, by using the African-American slang and smoky descriptions of illegal jazz clubs to recreate the atmosphere of gangster and underground black word of LA.
Hwever, "I don't feel the book in my belly", so it remains out of my literary interests!

I also watched the movies … Maybe under the direction of Tarantino it could be transformed in something deeply different....

You find attached two links about Walter Mosley. I discovered that probably I like him more for his humor and his social compromise than for his novel. The first link is a manifest of his denounce of deep ability to live the life of marginalized people. The second is a video-speech pronounced after receiving a prize. He used a metaphoric parallelism between conventional medicine and beneficiency for poverty as the two evils. I completely agree with him…
