Already a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, an Emmy, three Obies, and countless other awards, Tony Kushner welcomes the fête train once again tonight, as he accepts the 2009 Chicago Tribune Literary Prize. If anyone deserves this much hardware, it’s Kushner: the playwright/screenwriter not only tackles some of the weightiest issues of the day with graceful, poetic realism, but he unapologetically (and commendably) shows no qualms about bringing his art to the masses -- most notably with the smash play/miniseries Angels in America. Proceeds from tonight’s special speaking event benefit the Chicago Tribune Holiday Campaign.
