I think those just struck me in particular thanks to how different it felt, especially on the heels of having read The Ceremonies by T.E.D. But he also isn't a one trick pony, you do get a variety of character types. You don't just see a frail little bookish geek like myself helpless in the face of the indescribable, you see characters who would otherwise be intimidating in other circumstances.

The character of Delicious in the memoir is renamed Taystee in the series, Yoga Janet becomes Yoga Jones, the guard “Gay Pornstar” earns the even nastier nickname “Pornstache.” “Crazy Eyes” is Latina in the memoir, and isn’t NEARLY as aggressive as her African-American television counterpart. There are dozens of ways the show changed in its book-to-TV adaptation. As with any book-to-film adaptation, there are clear differences between Piper Kerman’s 2010 memoir Orange is the New Black: My Year in Women’s Prison and this summer’s Netflix Original adaptation, with Weeds creator Jenji Kohan at the helm. ![]() ![]() ![]() But not so fast: Like Easy says, the world keeps on turning.

I had enjoyed the cases Easy solved, and the way his creator Walter Mosley laid out Los Angeles and the complicated relationship between whites, blacks and Latinos in post-World War II California. In the past I was more invested in other parts of the stories. And as I read Little Green, I realized that I hadn't been following Easy, the character, all these years. That's a lot of time to give to a character.
