August Wilson is dying
Sadly, August Wilson has only a few months to live. His attitude is interesting and commendable: “It’s not like poker, you can’t throw your hand in. I’ve lived a blessed life. I’m ready.” The announcement was made in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — a fitting paper to tell, given the locale of his plays. Somehow, I’ve seen only one of his plays, and though disappointed a little in it, have wanted to see his earlier ones.

Well, now this is causing a theater to be renamed. “I never imagined anything like this,” he’s quoted as saying. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/02/nyregion/02theater.html I suspect his imagination was robust enough to cover that scenario, but modesty won out.
