But instead of diving into plays when he became an adult, Wilson turned to poetry-drama didn’t come until much later. In addition, after dropping out of school at 15 over a fight with a teacher who accused him of cheating, Wilson designed his own education by making constant trips to the library and reading as much as he could. When he encountered the work of writer Langston Hughes at a young age, however, Wilson knew writing was in his future and he began experimenting with the written word. Though Wilson would become one of the greatest voices of American theater, he didn’t grow up wanting to be a playwright. His identification with a strong Black tradition was strengthened as he listened to stories being told among the members of his community stories of a people with a “rich” yet sorrowful history trying to carve out a meaningful life for themselves in the face of centuries of persecution.Īctors Phylicia Rashad and John Earl Elks in a scene from August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean, set in the first decade of the twentieth century. “I grew up in my mother’s household in a which was Black,” he said. Originally named Frederick August Kittel after his white immigrant father, Wilson officially adopted his African American mother’s last name and culture. Wilson, the author of an impressive “cycle” of 10 plays exploring a decade of African American history, was born in 1945 in the ethnically-diverse Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Most playwrights are lucky if they have just one hit. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name.

About the Book Includes an excerpt form Throne of jade. I have now seen a royal robot person give birth, that was… new. There’s the ghost of a teenage girl that’s just a floating upper body with her guts spilling out (she’s really nice though), there are giant naked cats called Lying Cats that know when you’re lying (I love them), and then there’s the robot people, with humanoid bodies but television heads.

I’m really enjoying these, they’re so intriguing, the characters are complex, and the artwork is stunning and sometimes really creepy.

We’re thankful that you are guiding him, that you are giving him the words to unite this party, this country, that we together can defeat the liberal Democratic Party, to keep us divided and not united.
