Fatheralong: A Meditation on Fathers and Sons, Race and Society. - book reviews
American Visions, Oct-Nov, 1994 by T. Andreas Spelman
Fatheralong: A Meditation on Fathers and Sons, Race and Society by John Edgar Wideman (Pantheon. 1994. $21)--In the same vein as the best-selling Brothers and Keepers (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1984), a memoir that muses on Wideman's relationship with his incarcerated brother, this book insightfully examines "how race works in this country to confuse and cripple people." Through his relationship with his son and his grandfather's with his grandson, Wideman explores who he might be beyond his race.
Note also: Identities, a collection of three novels by Wideman, A Glance Away, Hurry Home and The Lynchers (Owl/Holt. 1994. $14.95) reveals Wideman's profound literary vision across the far range of human emotion and circumstance.
