Memoirs - Tennessee Williams

For Tennessee Williams the past is always present. As he weaves his Memoirs, the playwright continually shifts and intermingles times and places—his childhood in Mississippi and St. Louis; his struggle as a "starving artist"; "overnight" success with The Glass Menagerie in 1945; the death of his long-time companion Frank Merlo in 1962; confinement to a psychiatric ward in 1969, and his subsequent recovery from alcohol and drug addiction in the 1970s. Of course Memoirs is also filled with amazing friends who Williams often hilariously—sometimes fondly, sometimes not—remembers: Laurette Taylor, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Elia Kazan, Marlon Brando, Vivian Leigh, Carson McCullers, Anna Magnani, Elizabeth Taylor, and Tallulah Bankhead to name just a few.
