Wow. Advocating for anger, Ashley style. What a beautiful tribute.

“This is somebody who lived in other peoples’ shoes at every moment when he was writing, and to me that’s the highest calling a writer can have, and I’m very proud to do this for him.”

–David Simon

It perfectly fits with David Simon’s often-verbalized pledge for his own writing to write for the subject of the piece and to “get it right” for them, not the reader.
