All Stories Are True: The Stories Of John Edgar Wideman

Award winning actor Clifton Davis reads the newest collection of stories by John Edgar Wideman, who has been called "the most gifted black novelist of his generation." In stories like All Stories Are True, Back Seat, and A Voice Foretold, Wideman depicts life in urban black America--a youth's first sexual experience, visiting a son or a brother in prison, or the thoughts of a newborn child as she is thrown to her death by her desparate preteen mother. Compassionate and expansive, Wideman reaches into the back alleys and prison yards of American culture to find truths we can all learn from.
