August's October Passing

Playwright August Wilson, 60, died yesterday. I never saw any of Wilson's plays, but I did read Fences in college. It's excellent. It was one of my first experiences with black American literature, and it left a mark on me that I can still see almost 15 years later.

For a tribute, see the New York Times' "August Wilson's Operatic Sweep Added Nobility to Already-Noble Lives."
