God's Gym is a book of short stories by John Edgar Wideman. The stories are told from the perspective of a variety of African American men in different circumstances. All the stories were told in the stream of consciousness style. While they were well done and made the reader think, I am not of fan of stream of consciousness. I enjoy short stories in general, but prefer those that tell a story rather than just the thoughts of a character in a situation. While this anthology was not a good fit for my tastes, it was interesting to get inside the heads of some of the characters. If you enjoy reading stream of consciousness style stories, I would definitely recommend you give God's Gym a try.
