The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey by Walter Mosley
The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey

Breena, January 1, 2012

Well Walter Moseley is a wizard of fiction! THE LAST DAYS OF PTOLEMY GREY is a graceful book that made me feel better about myself. Moseley's novel reminded me of the very important novel, A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Ernest J. Gaines. This,too,is a graceful reflection on the purpose of life that speaks eloquently - certifying that the length of time left in a life is not what makes it meaningful. I ought to have cried at the end of THE LAST DAYS OF PTOLEMY GREY. I didn't. I am a known crybaby. But this novel is about finishing up not dying. It is a very lovely read.
