Since their first meeting in the 1960s and until the great playwright’s death in 1983, Dotson Rader was one of Tennessee Williams’ closest friends and companions. In his intimate memoir of their friendship, Rader recounts the life of Tennessee Williams in shocking detail. Here is the harrowing portrait of America's greatest playwright who created works that changed and uplifted American theater despite his own downward spiral into substance abuse, licentiousness, and self-destruction. Full of tension and love, Dotson Rader’s memoir of Tennessee Williams is one of the most revealing and touching works written about a genius.
