Possibilities. The short novels that Walter Mosley writes in his
Crosstown to Oblivion series are finely written and quick to read. The latest,
Merge/Disciple, includes two novellas that are paired as perfectly as when a wine complements a tasty plate of food. Mosley riffs on an expanded reality and what may be possible. In
Merge, a lottery winner uncovers a richer treasure than his winnings. In
Disciple, the protagonist finds himself promoted from being a data entry clerk to the head of a company. However unlikely the plot, readers are likely to enjoy the tightly written prose and the big questions underlying the stories. Mosley is a fine writer and readers who like to think about life and its possibilities are those most likely to enjoy these two short novels.
Rating: Three-star (Recommended)
