Book excerpt: Charles Blakey is a young black man whose life is slowly crumbling. His parents are dead, he can't find a job, he drinks too much, and his friends have begun to desert him. Worst of all, he's fallen behind on the mortgage payments for the beautiful home that's belonged to his family for generations. When a stranger - a white man - offers him $50,000 in cash to rent out his basement for the summer, Charles needs the money too badly to say no. He knows that the stranger must want something more than a basement view. Sure enough, he has a very particular - and bizarre - set of requirements, and Charles tries to satisfy him without getting lured into the strangeness. But he sees an opportunity to understand the secrets of the white world, and his summer with a man in his basement turns into a dark game of power and manipulation.
Download or read book Simon written by Alexander Masters and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Masters tripped over his first book subject on a Cambridge sidewalk, and the result was the multi-award-winning bestseller Stuart: A Life Backwards. His second, he’s found under his floorboards. One of the greatest mathematical prodigies of the twentieth century, Simon Norton stomps around Alexander’s basement in semidarkness, dodging between stalagmites of bus timetables and engorged plastic bags, eating tinned kippers stirred into packets of Bombay mix. Simon is exploring a theoretical puzzle so complex and critical to our understanding of the universe that it is known as the Monster. It looks like a sudoku table—except a sudoku table has nine columns of numbers. The Monster has 808017424794512875886459904961710757005754368000000000 columns. But that’s not the whole story. What’s inside the decaying sports bag he never lets out of his clutches? Why does he hurtle out of the house in the middle of the night? And—good God!—what is that noxious smell that creeps up the stairwell? Grumpy, poignant, comical—more intimate than either the author or his quarry intended—Simon: The Genius in My Basement is the story of a friendship and a pursuit. Part biography, part memoir, and part popular science, it is a study of the frailty of brilliance, the measures of happiness, and Britain’s most uncooperative egghead eccentric.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mournful, insightful, and mystical...Mosley's best work of fiction." —Elle New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley introduces us to Socrates Fortlow, an "astonishing character" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) in this acclaimed collection of linked stories. "I either committed a crime or had a crime done to me every day I was in jail. Once you go to prison you belong there." Socrates Fortlow has done his time: twenty-seven years for murder and rape, acts forged by his own two rock-breaking hands. Now, he has come home to a new kind of prison: two battered rooms in an abandoned building in Watts. Working a dead-end job at the supermarket and moving perilously close to invisibility, Socrates seeks inner truth and redemption amid the violence and hopelessness of South Central Los Angeles. In fourteen intertwining tales, Socrates grapples with situations that are never easy as he attempts to hold on to a job and offer a lifeline to a young man on his same bloodstained path. In Socrates's battle-scarred wisdom, there is hope of turning the world around in this "powerful, hard-hitting, unrelenting, poignant short fiction" (Booklist).

Book excerpt: Stanley Carter was a self made man who came from nothing. Through hard work and creativity he became a billionaire, but loved to dominate, control and manipulate women. Over the course of his career he gave over two hundred million to charity, yet had a fetish for women less than half his age. He was an inspirational speaker on the level of Dr. King or Malcolm X, but would go to abnormal levels to feed his desire and ego. Stanley would even break the law and codes of morality if necessary.Stanley became obsessed with a local waitress, inviting her to dinner at his home with ulterior motives. Deja, his victim, would be chained to a metal pole in his extravagant basement, a place that looked more like a crash pad, than a hostage destination. In the end it was no more than a comfortable cage, and a place his victim couldn't leave. Not until she loved him. This would be a carefully planned process he would work on daily until she became used to her new lifestyle and fell into submission. Along the way we meet the wife who left him due to control, anger, and womanizing issues and the teenage daughter who did the same. We learn what transformed Stanley from what used to be a decent man into a monster.Will Stanley be found out? How will this impact the family he already has? What happens if a victim falls in love with their abuser? Will a man who is emotionally disturbed become well? Will a family that is emotionally disturbed ever be at peace?These questions and more are answered in The Girl Chained in my Basement, an intense look at obsession, sex, power, and people who are emotionally disturbed.The author is quoted as saying, "This isn't about a woman being sexually molested and tortured in a basement. I didn't want to write the expected. I wanted to write about how people who are emotionally disturbed became that way and the events that led to them being that way. It looks like an exploitation novel on the surface. As you read you will see there is more going on. God bless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterpiece by celebrated New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley is the mysterious story of a young Black man who agrees to an unusual bargain to save the home that has belonged to his family for generations. The man at Charles Blakey's door has a proposition almost too strange for words. The stranger offers him $50,000 in cash to spend the summer in Charles's basement, and Charles cannot even begin to guess why. The beautiful house has been in the Blakey family for generations, but Charles has just lost his job and is behind on his mortgage payments. The money would be welcome. But Charles Blakey is black and Anniston Bennet is white, and it is clear that the stranger wants more than a basement view. There is something deeper and darker about his request, and Charles does not need any more trouble. But financial necessity leaves him no choice. Once Anniston Bennet is installed in his basement, Charles is cast into a role he never dreamed of. Anniston has some very particular requests for his landlord, and try as he might, Charles cannot avoid being lured into Bennet's strange world. At first he resists, but soon he is tempted -- tempted to understand a set of codes that has always eluded him, tempted by the opportunity to understand the secret ways of white folks. Charles's summer with a man in his basement turns into an exploration of inconceivable worlds of power and manipulation, and unimagined realms of humanity. Walter Mosley pierces long-hidden veins of justice and morality with startling insight into the deepest mysteries of human nature.
