August Wilson Starts to Write (Full Bio)

Our series Full Bio returns, and this month we are focusing on the life of pioneering playwright August Wilson, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice, and whose plays focus on the life of Black Americans in the 20th century. Biographer Patti Hartigan joins us for a deep dive into her book, August Wilson: A Life. On day two, we speak about Wilson's early years as a poet and playwright and the beginnings of his creative partnerships.
