<<I wonder if some would argue that Easy Rawlings
wasn't harbioled because the events of the plot took over so
much and made him appear to lose control of things so
often.>>
Mosley is a master hardboiled writer. His subplots are as
good as everything he does. Please excuse the apodictic
nature of this paragraph, but I say it with conviction.
Whether my conviction is worth anything is another
matter...
Besides, Rawlins is not a P.I. and Mosley's stories aren't
predominantly mysteries. One reason why there are subplots is
that he has a wonderful gallery of characters.
