No writer captures the rhythm and musicality of language quite like August Wilson. One of the American theater’s finest writers, he is our greatest chronicler of the African-American experience. Jitney, his first play, is set in 1977 Pittsburgh, in a makeshift storefront depot for gypsy cab drivers. The men share stories and gossip, two young lovers fight for their future, and the station owner confronts his long-estranged son. Wilson illuminates the human condition with an exquisite sense of the poetry of ordinary life. ''Jitney holds its audience in charmed captivity,” says The New York Times.
