- Title
Miscounts, Loopholes, and Flashbacks: Strategic Evasion in Walter Mosley's Detective Fiction.
- Authors
Ford, Elisabeth V.
- Abstract
This article discusses the book "Six Easy Pieces," by Walter Mosley and how it is a series of books that ended with a seventh book that distraught readers because it was the complete opposite of the first six books of the series. The portrayal of the main character was completely different in many ways. Mouse had an inner voice that was now gone along with his sexual appetite, mentions of his family along with every aspect of him as a character. In this seventh book he is calm, quiet and settled with one woman and no mention of family. This book is said to be something off the wall and too different because the readers had gotten all to familiar with the character and the idea of changing was not an option for anyone, except the author.
