This title in other editionseBook editionsGod's Gym: Storiesby John Edgar Wideman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In God's Gym, the celebrated author John Edgar Wideman offers stories that pulse with emotional electricity. The ten pieces here explore strength, both physical and spiritual. The collection opens with a man paying tribute to the quiet fortitude of his mother, a woman who "should wear a T-shirt: God's Gym." In the stories that follow, Wideman delivers powerful riffs on family and fate, basketball and belief. His mesmerizing prose features guest appearances by cultural luminaries as diverse as the Harlem Globetrotters, Frantz Fanon, Thelonious Monk, and Marilyn Monroe. As always, Wideman astounds with writing that moves from the intimate to the political, from shock to transcendence. Synopsis:From one of the most renowned authors of our time comes the eagerlyanticipated God's Gym, John Edgar Wideman's first story collection in more than a decade. In these stories, Wideman offers an unadulterated view of contemporary life, exploring gender, race, family, and relationships. Synopsis:The first story collection in more than a decade from one of the most celebrated African-American authors of modern-day literature contains stories that move from the intimate to the political, from shock to transcendence.
