The Right Mistake

Tomorrow night our book club will be discussing Walter Moseley's  The Right Mistake.   This is not one of his Easy Rawlins detective stories, but a novel about his character Socrates Fortlow.  While there is a plot to the story, I don't feel as though it is plot-driven.  I think that most of our discussion tomorrow will center around the sessions that Socrates leads with his multiracial, varied socio-economic band of misfits and others about their daily problems of living in South Central LA and how they might try to resolve those issues.  Of course, the LAPD can't believe that these Thursday night Thinker's Club meetings are harmless, and they seem to get in the way of Socrates and friends.
