The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams

Tennessee Williams wrote to family, friends and fellow artists with equal measures of piety, wit, and astute self-knowledge. Presented with a running commentary to separate Williams' often hilarious, but sometimes devious, counter-reality from the truth, the letters form a virtual autobiography of the great American dramatist. Volume one includes 330 letters written to nearly 70 correspondents and chosen from a group of 900 letters collected by Devlin and Tischler, both scholars with a special interest in Williams' life and work.
