Mosley interviews Colson Whitehead in that issue. It's
Whitehead's second novel, *John Henry Days*, that works on
that ground. Mosley's next book is due soon featuring a new
character, Fearless Jones.
It was a great article, with these two meeting in a cafe and
talking about several interesting things. Whitehead's first
novel was a speculative detective story called *The
Intuitionist*. Not hard-boiled, but maybe a little noir. It
was interesting work.
