Every Man a King by Walter Mosley, Walter Mosley

4.0

I think Walter Mosley is slowly morphing into Percival Everett. This book is similar to previous Mosley novels in its use of language, large cast of characters, and highly complex plot. It is different in that the setting is kind of irrelevant. NY is not a character. Like an Everett novel, it is a surrealist exploration of power at this point in history. But then again, the characters contain real reflections of today's power players, including Epstein, Musk, Blackwater, etc. Truth is stranger is fiction at this point. Mosley is obviously an amazing writer. I don't think I enjoyed this one as much because it was less atmospheric and more intellectual.
