Descriere Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned - Walter Mosley

Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles. New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley presents his most compelling character since Easy Rawlins in Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned--soon to be an HBO movie starring Laurence Fishburne. \nNew York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley introduces an astonishing character (Los Angeles Times Book Review) in this acclaimed collection of entwined tales. Meet Socrates Fortlow, a tough ex-con seeking truth and redemption in South Central Los Angeles -- and finding the miracle of survival. \n I either committed a crime or had a crime done to me every day I was in jail. Once you go to prison you belong there. Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his huge, rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. Working for the Bounty supermarket, and moving perilously close to invisibility, it is Socrates who throws a lifeline to a drowning man: young Darryl, whose shaky path is already bloodstained and fearsome. In a place of violence and hopelessness, Socrates offers up his own battle-scarred wisdom that can turn the world around.
