Writer's on Writing : Walter Mosley

I am listening to Writer's on Writing, on Medger evers radio. Today's guest is Walter Mosley. I never heard him speak, but I have read all of his books thus. He is extremely intelligent and has some interesting things to say about the pubishing industry himself. His most recent Book is Fortunate Son, it's a novel about "two boys, one ensconced in a life of privilege and the other in a life of hardship, explores the true meaning of fortune.

In spite of remarkable differences, Eric and Tommy are as close as brothers. Eric, a Nordic Adonis, is graced by a seemingly endless supply of good fortune. Tommy is a lame black boy, cursed with health problems, yet he remains optimistic and strong.

After tragedy rips their makeshift family apart, the lives of these boys diverge astonishingly: Eric, the golden youth, is given everything but trusts nothing; Tommy, motherless and impoverished, has nothing, but feels lucky every day of his life. In a riveting story of modern-day resilience and redemption, the two confront separate challenges, and when circumstances reunite them years later, they draw on their extraordinary natures to confront a common enemy and, ultimately, save their lives."
