'Magnificent' Time Out

‘Magic emerges from Mosley’s writing–and it goes straight to the reader’s heart’ Guardian

'The swamps and small towns of black Texas are rendered with an almost tactile grace, while the people who inhabit them are brought fully to life. Repressed by white culture, Mosley's characters are left to assert their humanity through strenuous sex, raucous drinking, sudden violence and fervent spirituality’ Sunday Times
