Description

This is the first complete, very important biography of Tennessee Williams (1911–1983), one in every of The united states’s finest playwrights and the creator of (among many vital works) The Glass Menagerie, Summer and Smoke, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Unexpectedly Last Summer, and The Night of the Iguana. Award-winning biographer Donald Spoto gives us not just a full and accurate account of Williams’s life, he also reveals the intimate connections between the playwright’s personal dramas and his remarkably autobiographical art. From his birth into a genteel Southern circle of relatives, through his success, celebrity, and wealth, to his drug addictions, promiscuity, and creative struggles, Tennessee Williams lived a life as gripping as his plays. The Kindness of Strangers, according to Williams’s own papers, his mother’s diaries, and interviews with scores of friends, lovers, and professional associates, is, within the creator’s words, a portrait of “a man more disturbing, more dramatic, richer and more wonderful than any character he created.”
