<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The crowning achievement of August Wilson's Century Cycle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"The concluding work in one of the most ambitious dramatic projects ever undertaken . . . a play that could well be Mr. Wilson's most provocative."--Ben Brantley, <i>The New York Times</i></p><p>"<i>Radio Golf </i>is a rich, carefully wrought human tapestry that is colorful, playful, thoughtful and compelling."--Ed Kaufman, <i>The Hollywood Reporter</i></p><p> <i>Radio Golf </i>is August Wilson's final play. Set in 1990 Pittsburgh, it is the conclusion of his Century Cycle--Wilson's ten-play chronicle of the African American experience throughout the twentieth century--and is the last play he completed before his death. With <i>Radio Golf</i> Wilson's lifework comes full circle as Aunt Ester's onetime home at 1839 Wylie Avenue (the setting of the cycle's first play) is slated for demolition to make way for a slick new real estate venture aimed to boost both the depressed Hill District and Harmond Wilks' chance of becoming the city's first black mayor.
