I was overjoyed at interviewing Mr. Walter Mosley at the Baltimore Book Festival! The band across the street is alot louder than my interview, but I was still honored to interview Mr. Mosley. He is discussing his book The Tempest Tales. Sorry you can't hear him better.
The Tempest Tales by Walter Mosley (Author)
Tempest Landry, an everyman African American, is “accidentally” killed by a cop. Denied access to heaven because of what he considers a few minor transgressions, Tempest refuses to go to hell. Stymied, Saint Peter sends him back to Harlem, where a guiding angel tries to convince him to accept Saint Peter's judgment, and even the Devil himself tries to win over Tempest’s soul. Through the street-smart Landry, Mosley poses the provocative question: Is sin for blacks the same as it is for whites? And who gets to decide?
