"You look at the world and see what's there," one character says to him.Īs Little Green opens, Easy is waking up from a two-month-long semicoma after drunkenly driving his car over a cliff in 2007's Blonde Faith. ![]() I loved Easy's adopted family, his friendship with Raymond "Mouse" Alexander ( who is always Don Cheadle when I picture him) and his complicated romantic relationship with Bonnie.īut, Easy is - or was - too cup-half-empty for me. 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. I've been following Easy Rawlins since reading Devil in a Blue Dress in the '90s. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming. ![]() Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title Little Green Subtitle An Easy Rawlins Mystery Author Walter Mosley ![]()
