August Wilson

He grew up in Pensylvania in a slum community and this fact is somehow reflected in his future dramas, for example in The Piano Lesson, he talks about those people, poor Afro-American slaves who lived in harsh conditions. His first play, which gave him some "name"was Ma Rainey's Black Bottom in 1984.

Author had won 2 Pulizer prices, one for his earliest play Fences and second one for the one I will talk about The Piano Lesson. He died in the year 2005.

There are some quotes said by August Wilson which I find absorbing:

“All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.”

“It ain't nothing to find no starting place in the world. You just start from where you find yourself.”

“I might be a different kind of fool, but I ain't gonna be the same fool twice.” 

So if you find it as interesting as I do, follow the blog and find more:)...
