Sobre este artículo
[African American Literature] Mosley, Walter. Devil in a Blue Dress. New York: Norton, 1990. Signed First Edition, First Printing Hardcover in original dust jacket. 219 pages. Measures 5.75" x 8.5." Signature appears at the bottom of the title page in pen. Mosley's first published novel is a groundbreaking work in detective fiction that prioritized the voice and characters of the African American community, often ignored by the genre. The plot follows Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins from the Watts area of Los Angeles as he turns from day laborer into detective. The novel was adapted into a feature film in 1995 starring Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle. Mosley was honored in 2020 with the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, making him the first African American to receive the honor. President Bill Clinton also cited Mosley as one of his favorite authors in a 1992 interview. Cover is vibrant and features a cubist illustration by John Jinks. Dust jacket has mylar-wrap and features a black and white photograph of Mosley on the back flap. Textblock is tight. In very good condition.
