Description

Tennessee Williams, author of such indelible masterpieces as “The Glass Menagerie” & “A Streetcar Named Desire,” is considered by many to be the greatest literary artist of the American theater. This is Leverich’s riveting, revelatory, & sole authorized account -- based on his exclusive access to letters, diaries, unpublished manuscripts, & family documents -- of Williams’s early life & of the events that shaped his life. It tells the story of the marital traumas of his bullying father & overly protective mother; the mental disorders that institutionalized his beloved sister Rose; his stalled academic career; his confused sexuality; & his early successes as a writer; & it leaves Williams on the brink of fame with “The Glass Menagerie”.
