Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

The saga of Easy Rawlins that began in 1990 with Devil in a Blue Dress, continues in A Little Yellow Dog. Working as a janitor at Sojourner Truth Junior High School, Easy is asked to care for a small dog owned by the attractive Idabell Holland, a teacher at the school. When Idabell's husband is murdered, Easy finds himself mixed up with a gang of criminals engaged in looting Los Angeles schools and smuggling heroin from France. Idabell and Easy fall into a sexual liaison, but in the wake of it, Idabell is found stabbed to death in the passenger seat of Easy's car. While at first Easy thinks the murders are a "simple falling out of thieves," a surprising twist on the level of "The Maltese Falcon" reveals the truth. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

From Booklist

Most successful mystery series find a good groove and stay put, holding their audience with the pleasures of familiarity. Only the best crime writers, like James Lee Burke (see opposite page), manage to rework their grooves, staying put but never letting comfort supersede substance. Then there's Walter Mosley, whose Easy Rawlins mysteries break most of the rules. By allowing Easy to grow older in real time (in five books, the series has moved from the mid-1940s through 1963), Mosley forces himself to reinvent his hero in every book, asking readers to accept change in a series character much as we would in ourselves, gradually but inevitably. In this installment, Easy has moved away from the street life that has alternately attracted and repelled him in the past; he's working as a building engineer at a Los Angeles junior high school, raising his two adopted children, and struggling to avoid the storm clouds of discontent that continue to gather both in the nation and in his South Central L.A. home as the 1960s grind on. Then an impulsive decision to help a beautiful schoolteacher hide her yapping dog from an angry husband threatens to jeopardize Easy's hard-won island of security. Soon he becomes a top suspect in two murders and must return to the street if he is to extricate himself from the mess. Mosley lets his plot unravel with the skill of a genre veteran, but as always, it is his ability to set Easy's personal story in the context of the historical moment that gives this series its uniqueness. November 1963 isn't just ambience here; it's counterpoint to the drama of an individual black man realizing that his world will never be the same again. A superb novel in a superb series. Bill Ott -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

Format:Taschenbuch
Can a book have atmosphere? If it can, then this book has it. The descriptions of the school yard took me back, in a flash, to my elementary school in Long Beach, California years ago. Do you remember school rooms in bungalows? And tetherball? Mosley is absolutely THE master of dialogue. Sometimes too much of one author can get tiresome, but not in this case. I read BLACK BETTY just before this book and the dialogue continues to be fresh and sparkling. I enjoyed the dry humor sprinkled throughout the story. It suits Easy very well and I'd like to see more of it in future books. The foray into the culinary experience was another new addition that I liked a lot. The main story line held together well and moved along almost effortlessly. I finished this book yesterday and I still don't know how I feel about the ending. I'm sure it will stay with me for a long while. Walter Mosley is one of the best authors around today, in my opinion. I eagerly await the next installment in the saga of Easy Rawlins.

Easy Does It,, Again! 9. Mai 2000
Von Donald Mitchell TOP 500 REZENSENT
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Easy Rawlins is the most unique protagonist in the mystery genre. He is always trying to get ahead without drawing unfavorable attention to himself. Whenever he seems to be making progress, crime and violence dog his footsteps . . . soon bringing the LAPD behind them to hassle him. If this sounds familiar, there is a good chance that Jean Valjean of Les Miserables is the real inspiration for Easy Rawlins.

Having grown up in Southern California at the time Mosley is writing about, I am very impressed with his ear for language and his eye for detail about those time. In A Little Yellow Dog, Easy has moved into the 1960s and is operating closer to the legal side than ever before.

He soon finds himself surrounded by corpses, accusations, and the potential to lose his job, his children, and his freedom. Faced with those terrible consequences, he returns to his old friends for help in unraveling a satisfying mystery.

Clearly, part of the appeal of this book is that Easy's vantage point on America is different from that of most readers. He is a black man with community connections to those who bend and break the law, yet he is a good man. How he will resolve the conflicts that inevitably occur due to his personal values, commitments to others, and the racisim of his society provides a satisfying look at the true nobility of man. That's what takes this book well beyond the normal well-written mystery.

I liked the way that Easy developed as a person in this novel, bridging the gap between his aspirations and his former life. This provides more interesting plot twists, character development, and a chance to revisit characters who worked well in the earlier novels.

A Little Yellow Dog is a top-notch successor to the earlier books in the Easy Rawlins series. Don't miss it!

I've read 2 other Walter Mosley's and that's it for me. He's too sloooow and most of all empty. He's character are not very interesting and the stories always lag, drag and fizzz out. I don't see how the reviewers see Walter Mosley as a black writer with something powerful to say about the black condition/experience etc. He hasn't said anything, let alone anything profound. In fact he doesn't even scratch the service. He should be writing kids books because that is where his composing skills have remained. Snails think faster than Walter Mosley.
