Albany, NY – Walter Mosley, of "Easy Rawlins" fame, talks to Gretchen about his newest novel, "Fortunate Son," the story of two boys - one privileged and white, the other black with a hole in his lung - who are raised together and forced to separate. Mosley talks about the book's themes of race and fate, and about how it has been received by readers and critics.
