In one play by this author, a woman chastises her husband for using their baby food money to securethe down payment on a house. This author slammed New Republic theater critic Robert Brustein in hismanifesto "The Ground on Which I Stand." In another of his plays, a man complains about theincompetence of the stuttering Sylvester and treasures his expensive Florsheim shoes, stabbing Toledo foraccidentally stepping on them. In his most famous play, a woman admits to giving "eighteen years of mylife to stand in the same spot with you" after her learning of her husband's affair with Alberta; that husbandprevents his son Cory from playing football, bitter about having to give up his own boyhood dream tobecome a garbage-man. For 10 points, name this author of Jitney, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and Fences,three plays in his Pittsburgh cycle.
