WALTER MOSLEY heads
to the city from New York for a rare UK appearance during Liverpool’s One Magnificent City’s celebrations. In a unique event hosted by Writing on the
Wall, he will explore a shared literary heritage and transatlantic experiences
of race, class and equality. Walter Mosley is one of the most versatile and
admired writers in America today. He is the author of more than 43
critically acclaimed books, including the major bestselling mystery series
featuring Easy Rawlins and Devil in a Blue Dress. His work has
been translated into 23 languages and includes literary fiction, science
fiction, political monographs, and a young adult novel. He is the winner of
numerous awards, including an O. Henry Award, a Grammy and PEN America’s
Lifetime Achievement Award.
Walter’s latest book, Inside a Silver Box which
continues to explore the cosmic questions entertainingly discussed in his
Crosstown to Oblivion. From life's meaning to the nature of good and evil,
Mosley takes readers on a speculative journey beyond reality. In Inside a
Silver Box, two people brought together by a horrific act are united in a
common cause by the powers of the Silver Box. The two join to protect humanity
from destruction by an alien race, the Laz, hell-bent on regaining control over
the Silver Box, the most destructive and powerful tool in the universe. The
Silver Box will stop at nothing to prevent its former master from returning to
being, even if it means finishing the earth itself. Copies will be available to
purchase on the night, and signings will be taking place.
Madeline Heneghan Co- Director, Writing on the Wall says:
‘It’s a real coup to have such an iconic American writer
as Walter Mosley in the city. This is an exceptional treat for fans of crime
fiction and an absolute must for those interested in contemporary US politics
and culture’
