Walter Mosley was chosen as the 2016 Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, who will present him with the award in April 2016. Born in California in 1952, he lives and works in New York City. Best known for his Easy Rawlins series, for inspiration he draws on his African-American and Jewish roots.
"A writer whose work transcends category and qualifies as serious
literature." —Time
"...Although Mosley is generally considered a mystery writer, his
output has been far more diverse: since 1995, he has published a
blues novel, two sci-fi novels, two short-story collections about a
homeless sage, and a book-length essay on world peace."—The New
Yorker
“Mosley is a cunning storyteller concerned with the more profound
mysteries of American lives.”—The Boston Globe
“Mosley is one of the most humane, insightful, powerful prose
stylists working today in any genre. He’s also one of the most
radical....Immerse yourself in the work of one of our national
treasures.”—The Austin Chronicle
"A master."—Junot Díaz
