Commentary Conducive To Books Fortunate Son

New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley's novel about two boys, one ensconced in a life of privilege and the other in a life of hardship, explores the true meaning of fortune.In spite of remarkable differences, Eric and Tommy are as close as brothers. Eric, a Nordic Adonis, is graced by a seemingly endless supply of good fortune. Tommy is a lame black boy, cursed with health problems, yet he remains optimistic and strong.After tragedy rips their makeshift family apart, the lives of these boys diverge astonishingly: Eric, the golden youth, is given everything but trusts nothing; Tommy, motherless and impoverished, has nothing, but feels lucky every day of his life. In a riveting story of modern-day resilience and redemption, the two confront separate challenges, and when circumstances reunite them years later, they draw on their extraordinary natures to confront a common enemy and, ultimately, save their lives.

Crit Out Of Books Fortunate Son

3.5 stars I know Walter Mosley best as the author of the 'Easy Rawlins' mystery series, but Mosley dabbles in many genres. This book is a literary novel about two boys who think of themselves as brothers, but have very different lives. ***** Branwyn Beerman - a beautiful, black single woman who works in a florist shop - gives birth to a baby boy with a hole in his lung. Little Thomas Beerman is a 'bubble baby', kept in a glass enclosure that Branwyn visits every day - to will her baby to live.

This was my first Mosley book, but it won't be my last.I found myself thinking a lot about Eric's character when I was away from this book. Mosley is good at magic, and both Thomas and Eric are treated like museum pieces with wings. In the end, though, when it just turns out Eric was afraid to love for fear of doing harm, and was saved from himself, essentially, by Thomas' practicality, I found them both a lot less interesting. I prefer my characters at the hands of gods they don't understand,

This is more of a tale about being thankful than anything else, I think, but isn't so hamfisted or schmaltzy for you to miss it. Sure, THomas has been in the lapt of luxury, but he got pulled out of it to be mistreated in almost every way possible. And after all of that? He's still thankful. Eric is the Golden Boy, for whom nothing goes wrong, but he too has issues: people gravitate to him and react to him in a very human way, a way I've seen firsthand with people I myself know. A page turner

A compelling work. It leaves the reader really wishing good for one of the main characters who seems to have experienced all the bad breaks one could ever happen in life.

This is a GoodRead! Mosley is definitely One of the Greatest, he exhibits the ability to create stories for any genre and be entertaining as well as educational, Hes always spitting game with his pen. For Mi this Read is about Holding On 2 the Greatest Loves Of Ones Life in Life & Death.

This book was written in an odd style--very simplistically, with very little character development. I'd be interested to know if Mosley always writes like that. He uses what I guess I'd call magic realism, like some Latin American authors, in his story about 2 brothers that becomes a parable of the black and white races in the US. The white brother is huge, beautiful and gifted with the ability to make everyone like him and everyone do his bidding, but he is also dangerous in an uncanny way and

I devoured the book within 24 hours. Walter Moseley writes mysteries, science fiction and realistic fiction; this book is a parable. Before you run away screaming, "Yuk, a parable!", I encourage you to read "Fortunate Son".The story tells of two brothers, one black, and one white. One is large physically and healthy, the other is small and sickly. Yes, there are differences between Tommy and Eric, but the story is not that simple. The story is not about racism, but is filled with it. I know that
