Why read it?
1 author picked Cinnamon Kiss as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Walter Mosely is one of my favorite fiction writers. His Easy Rollins mysteries, of which Cinnamon Kiss is a prime example, describe with great skill the cultural texture of street life among African Americans in Los Angeles.
He does so through sensuous descriptions of LA neighborhoods, gripping dialogue, and creative construction of character. In so doing he evokes the practical wisdom of urban street life—a model for writing about contemporary wisdom.
From Paul's list on writing about the wisdom of others.
