"The Science of Paul" was good. This is excellent. The first outing reminded me of a player who had a promising rookie season -- it had rough spots, but the talent was clear to see. This time out, Aaron Philip Clark delivered in every way: a powerful story, rich and evocative language, superb characters across the board. He's really earned the right to sit at the same table with one of his prime influences, Walter Mosley. What I like about Mosley's books is something that Clark also provides: you come to know more about an important part of the American experience.
