Brothers and Keepers by John Edgar Wideman. In this autobiographical work, Wideman attempts to make sense of how he and his brother—both raised in the same home in Pittsburgh—could have ended up in such different places in life, with Wideman as a professor and prolific author, his brother as a thief and murderer. This may not be the most uplifting of summer reads, but it is powerful. ~Shelly LeMahieu Dunn
