Synopsis

No other writer has been more closely connected to the region of his birth than Tennessee Williams. Indeed, he remarked on several occasions that the farther south one went in America, the more congenial life was. Williams never forgot the "more congenial climate" the South afforded him and his creativity and this book underscores that connection by featuring, in addition to a substantial essay, photographs of people and places captioned with quotations from his plays, memoirs, and letters.
