Wiseman

by Stephen C. Satell

The novel Wiseman takes place at the oldest Black owned hotel in Philadelphia. Much history and discussion runs through the hotel throughout the course of the novel. The novel also follows many of the public events in the life of John Edgar Wideman and includes commentary on aspects of his work and literary contribution which Satell deems important. Wiseman fuses fantasy and reality along with important American history and Black struggle. Wiseman is centered on a romance and covers five decades of interaction.
