Product Description
The introduction of Socrates Fortlow, an ex-convict forced to define his own morality in a lawless world, was hailed as astonishing by the Los Angeles Times Book Review. In this second book about the philosopher with rock-breaking hands, Socrates confronts wrongs that most people would rather ignore and comes face-to-face with the most dangerous emotion: hope. Nine years after his release from prison, he is still living in a two-room shack in a Watts alley, but he has found a girlfriend, and a steady job, and is even keeping a pet, the two-legged dog he calls Killer. Having responsibilities and people he cares about makes finding the right path even harderespecially when the police make him their first suspect in every crime within six blocks. Writing with the same lyricism that earned accolades for Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned, Walter Mosley has brought us one of the most enduring fictional characters to come along in years. Also available as a Time Warner AudioBook. Mosley has constructed a perfect Socrates for millenniums enda principled man who finds that the highest meaning of life can be attained through self-knowledge, and who convinces others of the power and value of looking within. ~ San Francisco Chronicle
