Overview
Edgewood, a sequel to Stonehaven, the author's previous book, finds that story's young, small- town, 1950s family in the booming suburbs at the onset of a new era: the Late 1960s. An era-troubled over Civil Rights and the Vietnam War-whose underlying social conflicts remain troublingly current.Subtitled, like Stonehaven, "A Fictional Memoir in Prose Couplets," Edgewood uses the same formal strategies as Stonehaven to create a work of fiction with the intimacy and detail of a memoir set in language looser than poetry, tauter than prose. The narrative again borrows from music the three-movement form of the sonata-exposition of themes; development; recapitulation-while the text, as in film, once more renders the behavior of the characters without authorial comment, leaving all interpretation to the reader.The story in each book is self-contained, but the ready resonances between the books reward a combined reading. A reading experience that immerses one in the grinding process of grounding, as we all must, in every era, an identity.
