Summary

AUGUST WILSON grew up open to  
the creative inspiration in everything 
he encountered: 
in library books, in music, in artworks, 
in the lively conversations 
overheard in the restaurants and barbershops  
lining the Pittsburgh neighborhood  
of his childhood. 
August paid attention. He listened. 
And when he got older, 
he got ideas about what to do 
with everything he’d seen and heard— 
ideas that would make him one  
of the greatest playwrights 
in American history.
