David mentioned Easy Rawlins' desire to own property and be a
landlord. I think his craving for a normal life, and for
legitimacy, is a running thread through the books, at least
the ones I've read. And I thought that in BAD BOY BRAWLY
BROWN he saw some significant changes that go a ways towards
achieving that. In particular, he gives a white cop some
information, and the cop takes his word for it, something
Easy was surprised at. And at the end of SIX EASY PIECES he's
got his own office and is thinking of becoming a legitimate
PI.
