- W2322464527 abstract "n cosmological string theory, the [f]our dimensions [of everyday life]-heig t, widt , depth, and timecorrespond to the spacetime of relativity theory. The remaining six dimensions are somehow crumpled up so tightly that, in effect, they vanish from view (Peterson 140). String theory and the ten-or-eleven-dimensional universe may seem an odd route into an analysis of the work of John Edgar Wideman, but something unusual is needed to articulate the submerged metaphysics of this writer. In a career now in its fourth decade, Wideman has gradually become one of the best and most ambitious American fictionists, though academic recognition in his own country lags considerably behind his accomplishment. How does one describe the kind of writer he is? His books might be the work of several people, so much do they vary. His fifteen volumes to date include Joycean modernist novels, familial-anecdotal novels that draw on oral modes, memoir-meditations on race as it affects family and sport, postmodern historical novels, and a pair of love stories. Most readers would agree that his work is intellectual and challenging in any mode, but what does the oeuvre add up to? Trying to find a logic to Wideman's output as an evolving totality, critics have not discovered a basic trajectory or sensed a coherent vision. This problem (for critics if not readers of particular books) is exacerbated by his tendency to respond to racial injustice in analytic rather than program-oriented ways, since a strong, predictable response would yield an easy label for his creations. I am going to suggest that we can find at least one form of revealing" @default.
