Dion Graham narrates this biography of playwright and poet August Wilson. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss how Graham excels at performing both as storyteller and actor, for this biography contains not only narrative but also passages from some of his plays. His rich voice carries the biography along nicely, but it is when he recites lines from plays such as FENCES and quotations from figures in Wilson's past that Graham really shines. The audiobook is an enlightening look at Wilson's life and the forces and people that shaped his plays. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.
