Hardback. Condizione: New. Playwright August Wilson is best known for his American Century Cycle, a sequence of ten plays-including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fences and The Piano Lesson-that chronicle the lives of Black Americans in each decade of the twentieth century. But behind the celebrated plays stands a complex man shaped by his hometown's vibrant Black culture. In The Power of Place, Laurence Glasco, one of the foremost historians of Black life in Pittsburgh, draws on Wilson's early poetry, archival material, and original interviews with family members, neighbours, and friends to show how the city and its residents shaped the playwright and his work.
