Title: Very dark, but strangely enjoyable...
Product review: This book was definitely a trip. Part "Twilight Zone", part "The Stranger." It was a book that I wished I had picked for my book club so I would have someone to discuss it with. There is a lot squeezed into this short novel: it's a psychological profile, debate on race and ethics, and a complex, literary character study all rolled into one. I am definitely glad I picked it up. I would also recommend it to others in order to have someone to bounce my ideas off of. This is a book that I think would be even better after spending some time looking back, drawing connections, and discovering new subtleties. The depravity human beings are capable of is pretty unsettling, and many might not like the idea of letting down our guard and exposing ourselves as Charles Blakey does in this novel. He is often naked, literally and figuratively, as is his captive, but not in the way you might think. Great writing here, Mosley!
