Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Every day Socrates Fortlow spent in prison, he either committed a crime or became its victim. After serving twenty-seven years for murder and rape, he now lives in a rundown two-room house in a desperately poor Los Angeles ghetto, cooking on a hot plate, collecting bottles, and battling his inner demons. As a Black man striving to lead an honest life on the fringes of a white world, he must tame his immense rage and physical strength, which could easily break rocks, and fight daily for the remnants of his self-respect. In this collection of fourteen interconnected stories, Walter Mosley captures the rhythm of life in the Watts neighborhood with both lyrical and gritty prose, portraying a place where only the most indomitable optimists still believe in the American dream. The book has been adapted into a film starring Laurence Fishburne, and HBO is currently developing a television series based on all three collections featuring Socrates Fortlow.
