         Fall of Heaven, The         Leading From the Affair         Lift

Fall of Heaven, The

Fall of Heaven, The
Tempest Landry, a quick-witted African American man from Harlem, is walking home when a case of mistaken identity leads to his being shot and killed by the police. Denied access to heaven because of what he considers to be a few minor transgressions, Tempest refuses Saint Peter's judgment to go to hell, believing that heaven is refusing to see the full truth of his justified "sins." Stymied, Saint Peter returns Tempest to Manhattan, with a new face and an angel named Joshua to watch over him. As Tempest sets up one morally complex situation after another, Joshua engages him in discussions of situational ethics, trying to get Landry to accept Saint Peter's edict. Can the street-smart Landry outwit his angel. . .and the devil himself?

Notes:
based on his novel the Tempest Tales

Lift

Synopsis:
When a catastrophic event traps two co-workers in an elevator, a bond of incredible intimacy is forged between two otherwise mismatched souls. Suspended by a wire with no one but each other for solace, master story teller Walter Mosley weaves a tense new drama about the ethos of our times, seared with issues of race, culture, and class.
