August Wilson: A Life by Patti Hartigan The first authoritative biography of August Wilson, one of America's most important and successful playwrights of the late 20th century. Wilson wrote ten plays, each set in a different decade, celebrating African American life in the 20th century. His work has had a lasting impact on American theater, with two of his plays adapted into successful films. Through his writing, Wilson created unforgettable characters that epitomized the trials and triumphs of the African American experience. This absorbing biography tells the story of a writer who left an indelible mark on American theater, tracing Wilson's life from childhood to Broadway, and drawing on extensive research and interviews with friends, colleagues, and family members.
