THE RIGHT MISTAKE

by | Read by Ezra Knight

Fiction • 9.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2008

Walter Mosley's third book featuring the philosopher ex-con Socrates Fortlow jumps around a bit but ultimately satisfies. Ezra Knight's narration of the novel is musical, a street opera about a flawed man trying to help people even more flawed than he is. The dialogue sounds true, the slang real. Mosley forgoes grammar for that realism, and it's a fair trade. While struggling to keep his own complicated woman happy, Fortlow runs "The Big Nickel," a place where people can talk about their frustrations, kind of a pressure-release valve for the oppressed. Mosley nibbles away at the corners of the story—Fortlow is being investigated for murder—as he tells the bigger story of a man trying to make a difference.
