Narrator Dion Graham delivers John Edgar Wideman’s discursive stream-of-consciousness stories in a powerful, resonant style. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss Wideman’s compelling combination of memoir, fiction, and essays, told sometimes in a stream-of-consciousness style that gives listeners insights into life as a Black American. Janina Edwards contributes to the narration as well, helping to bring these semi-autobiographical fictions luminously to life. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Simon & Schuster Audio.
