The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: 1945-57: v. 2: Volume Two 1945 - 1957 (Volume II) - Hardcover
Volume II of these fascinating letters extends the record of Williams' correspondence through the most successful and intensely creative period of his life, which saw the production of "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Rose Tattoo" and "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof".Featuring letters to (and sharp portraits of) Elia Kazan, Carson McCullers and Gore Vidal among others, the Broadway and Hollywood successes of America's premier dramatist are contrasted with a string of personal losses and a deepening depression.

Review:
"'His letters are among the century's finest' New Yorker" 'Anyone who knew Tennessee Williams will recognise in these letters his living human voice: about his friends, his loves, his hates and, above all, his work. To read these letters is to be directly in touch with him.' Sir Peter Hall 'These letter are shockingly readable. They offer real insight into Tennessee Williams's creative struggles and inner demons but also into his fierce idealism and Southern humour. You end up loving the man as well as the writer.' Michael Billington
About the Author:
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams was an American playwright, author of many stage classics. After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), closely reflecting his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Orpheus Descending, and Sweet Bird of Youth. His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. Williams adapted much of his best work for the cinema, and also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs.

Book Description cartoné. Condition: bien. Extending the author's correspondence from 1945 - 1957, a time of intense creativity in his life, Volume II of The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams covers the production of six major plays, including A Streetcar Named Desire, The Rose Tattoo, Camino Real, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Following the immense success of Streetcar, Williams struggles to retain his prominence with a prodigious outpouring of stories, poetry and novels as well as plays. Several major film projects, especially the notorious Baby Doll, bring Williams and his collaborator Elia Kazan into contact with powerful agencies of censorship, exposing both the conservative landscape of the 1950s and Williams' own studied resistance to the forces of conformity.
