 and new book, answers questions from the audience and signs copies of his 
 book.\n\nWalter Mosley has written 29 critically acclaimed books 
 (translated into 21 languages). Best known among them are the historical 
 mysteries featuring two-fisted detective Easy Rawlins, a black private 
 investigator living in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. One of these, 
 Devil in a Blue Dress, was made into a major film starring Denzel 
 Washington. Among his other popular titles are: Red Death, Black Betty, A 
 Little Yellow Dog, The Man In My Basement, Blonde Faith, Cinnamon Kiss, and 
 Fear of the Dark. Mosley served on PEN’s Open Book Committee, a group 
 working to increase the presence of African-Americans and other others in 
 the publishing community. He was a finalist for the NAACP Award in Fiction, 
 and was given the Risktaker Award by the Sundance Institute. \n\nIn THE 
 LONG FALL, Mosley leaves behind Easy Rawlins, Fearless Jones, and Los 
 Angeles to create a dynamic new character, Leonid McGill – “a 
 red-diaper baby, ex-boxer, a man eternally at war with himself, who may be 
 his most compelling hero yet”  — Kirkus Reviews.\n\nThe novel is “an 
 astounding performance by a master, a searing X-ray of grasping, 
 conspiratorial New York and of the penitent soul of a wily, battle-scarred 
 private-eye. Dark: because it takes us express to the lower depths. 
 Beautiful: because Mosley never leaves us without light. This is, simply, 
 Mosley’s best work yet.” —Junot Diaz\n\n
