The tempest tales : a novel-in-stories / Walter Mosely. by Mosley, Walter. Washington Square Press, 2009. Call #: FICTION MOS Subjects Good and evil -- Fiction.   Men, Black -- Fiction.   Wrongful death -- Fiction.   Future life -- Fiction.   Guardian angels -- Fiction.   Forgiveness of sin -- Fiction.   Harlem (New York, N.Y.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781416599494 Edition:  1st Washington Square Press trade pbk. ed. Description:  186 p. Summary:  Tempest Landry is neither a good nor a bad man, but an average man trying to survive. Sure, he stole money from his mother's church, but he used it to pay for his aunt's groceries while she was recovering from pneumonia. And yes, Tiny Henderson went to jail because of Tempest's white lie, but the brutal rapist and murderer deserved it. After a cop "accidentally" kills Tempest, Tempest is denied access to heaven for his sins. But he brazenly refuses St. Peter's command to proceed to hell—he would just as soon settle for his old life in Harlem. Temporarily stymied, St. Peter grants Tempest his wish - but in a different body and with a guardian angel following him around who is determined to convert him to righteousness. But the devil is also in the running for Tempest's soul - and he wants it in a bad way. In this episodic and humorous homage to Langston Hughes' prescient narrator Jess B. Simple, readers are lured into the never-ending debate on the nature of good and evil. The Tempest Tales explores the provoking questions: Is sin the same for people of different races? Is sin judged the same for the poor as it is for the rich? And ultimately, who really gets to decide? Genre:  Paranormal fiction. Linked stories. Black fiction.
