This was gripping-I felt dirty reading it! Set in the backyard of a rooming house in the 40's, I felt like I was peeping over the back fence and eaves dropping on the characters. Somehow August Wilson has managed to write of the plight of African Americans (which let's face it has always been horrific), and still imbue his characters with hope-even in the direst of circumstances. This was definitely a gut punch.
