Brothers and keepers
Synopsis
John Edgar Wideman examines the starkly different paths he and his brother Robby took, one becoming a college professor and the other serving a life sentence for robbery and murder. This memoir recounts Robby's capture, the subsequent trials, and offers a vivid look into the American prison system. It explores the complex bonds of blood, tenderness, and guilt that connect the brothers, while also measuring the profound distance between their lives.
