Brady, Kelly C. Connelly, Juan F. Elices, Keith Hughes, Derek C. Maus, Jerrilyn McGregory, Laura Quinn, Francesca Canad Sautman, Daniel Stein, Lisa B. Thompson, Terrence Tucker, and Albert U. Turner, Jr. \u003cem\u003eIn Finding a Way Home\u003c\/em\u003e, thirteen essays by scholars from four countries trace Walter Mosley's distinctive approach to representing African American responses to the feeling of homelessness in an inhospitable America. Mosley (b. 1952) writes frequently of characters trying to construct an idea of home and wrest a sense of dignity, belonging, and hope from cultural and communal resources. These essays examine Mosley's queries about the meaning of \"\"home\"\" in various social and historical contexts. Essayists consider the concept--whether it be material, social, cultural, or virtual--in all three of Mosley's detective\/crime fiction series (\u003cem\u003eEasy Rawlins\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSocrates Fortlow\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFearless Jones\u003c\/em\u003e), his three books of speculative fiction, two of his \"\"literary\"\" novels (\u003cem\u003eRL's Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Man in My Basement\u003c\/em\u003e), and in his recent social and political nonfiction. Essays here explore Mosley's modes of expression, his testing of the limitations of genre, his political engagement in prose, his utopian\/dystopian analyses, and his uses of parody and vernacular culture. \u003cem\u003eFinding a Way Home\u003c\/em\u003e provides rich discussions, explaining the development of Mosley's work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52621454573848,"sku":"9781617030659","price":22.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/finding-a-way-home-a-critical-assessment-of-walter-mosleys-fiction-paperback-softback-9781617030659","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
