On The Webwww.waltermosley.comQuotes“Being smart, in a western notion, is being removed. That’s why they talk about these intellectual towers that university professors are in. You can sit, and you can consider [the] evil of human nature, but as soon as you’re dealing with people, as soon as you’re dealing with other people’s emotions or your emotions, how smart can you be?” “America at the time of Easy Rawlins is both isolationist and imperialist, kind of a schizophrenic way of being. But today we live in a much broader world where everything, including the notions of race, are completely different. So the world I’m writing about [now] is very different, and therefore the writing itself has to take on different subjects, topics, and talk in a different way.” |
