Gone Fishin
by Walter Mosley
Review this book!
This prequel to the popular Easy Rawlins series (President Bill Clinton is a self-professed fan) fills in the early years in Houston before Easy and Mouse migrated to California. On the brink of marrying his ladylove, EttaMae, Mouse persuades Easy to travel to a town called Pariah for the sake of acquiring quick cash. The journey is an arduous one, robbing Easy of what little innocence he had left. "Gone Fishin'" is essential reading if one is to understand the motives behind Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, the man readers have come to know and care for through previous novels.

Media Reviews
"Full illumination only increases your admiration for Mosley as a novelist and commentator whose tragic awareness of what shapes our life and times is matched only by his saving sense of the absurd."
