What this book is about
In this short novel or novella, Mosley explores what happens when an unremarkable man is inexplicably granted a form of prophetic vision or supernatural ability. The story examines how such a gift would change a person's relationship to the people around him and to ordinary life. Mosley steps away from the Easy Rawlins detective world to explore philosophical territory about power, responsibility, and what it means to be touched by the inexplicable.
