Of all the books I have read so far, “Fences” by August Wilson has always been my favorite. I have read it over and over again, and the more I read it the more clearer and interesting I find it to be. “Fences” was published in 1983 and has received quite a handful of awards. August Wilson died on October 2, 2005 at the age of 60 after being declared as one of the most influential writers in the 20th century.
The story in “Fences” is about the struggles an African American family had to go through, both at home and outside home. August Wilson's use of social commentary is quite significant. He also throws more light on the American dream which was hard to achieve by the African American during the post slavery times. He also incorporates the conflict that goes on in the Maxson's family.
