Derek's review
The Man in My Basement: A Novel by Walter Mosley
Mosley is best known for his detective fiction (also good), but this is more a straightforward philosophical quest into who we are as people and a nation. He hits the troubled relationship between African Americans and white America right on the head, but this is more than a story of racial issues. The struggles with a life of sin, the need for redemption, the longing for connection...will be worth repeated readings.
