Content: "In one of the most startling and frank memoirs ever written, Tennessee Williams, author of The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and many other theatrical successes, writes with disarming candour of his personal relationships, his homosexual affairs, his addictions to pills, alcohol and drugs - all of which contributed to a devastating breakdown. Honestly, he recalls his struggle to achieve recognition in the ruthless, razzmatazz world of showbusiness." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Tennessee Williams (26 March 1911 – 25 February 1983) born Thomas Lanier Williams, was an American playwright who received many of the top theatrical awards for his works of drama.

Quote from this book "To begin this 'thing' on a socially impressive note, let me tell you that one recent fall, before the leaves had fallen, I happened to be weekending at one of the last great country houses in England, an estate so close to Stonehenge that one of the stones was dropped on the lady's estate before it got to that prehistorical scene of druidical worship and, probably due to collapse or revolt of slave labor, it was not picke up but allowed to rest where it fell, and this bit of information has only the slightest and most oblique connection with the material which follows." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
