Walter Mosley recommends
Promise (2023)
Rachel Eliza Griffiths
"At its core, Promise concerns the illusion of security that we, Black Americans, harbor in our souls - that generational ache to believe that we can finally lay down the fear of what potential tragedy awaits us around the next corner, and the one after that. Poetic and powerful, Promise slices through self-delusion with its many faces of heroism, loss, and the grace it takes to find a sense of equality in our hearts."
An Honest Living (2022)
Dwyer Murphy
"Dwyer Murphy's debut novel, An Honest Living, is a noir love letter to New York City. It is a sublime trip through a city teeming with professional idlers, hustlers, poets, politicians, insurance scammers, and real estate developers, all vying for their share of New York's divinity."
