Description
Brothers and Keepers is a deeply personal memoir by John Edgar Wideman that explores the complex bond between two brothers. One brother was an award-winning novelist, while the other became a fugitive, leading to a life sentence in prison.
The book recounts the events surrounding Robby's capture, the subsequent trials, and his imprisonment, offering a vivid portrayal of the American prison system. Through this narrative, Wideman grapples with the ties that bind him to his brother, as well as the distance that separates them.
