Book Reviews of Three By Tennessee

Book Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

It's amazing how well the works of Mr. Williams have held up after all these years. Then again, when you write classics that's what they're supposed to do.

While all these plays are great, NIGHT OF THE IGUANA is by far his best. My favorite line: "Oh,God, can we please stop now." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea.

But the most remarkable thing about Mr. William's plays are that, while they almost always deal with the south, decay, decadence, incredible insight into the human condition, and graphic and moving looks into the human heart, they are all completely different. How much this man must have lived to have produced this varied and complex a body of work.

If you're a fan of Southern literature, and especially Tennessee Williams, please check out some other "finds:" OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS by Capote, BARK OF THE DOGWOOD by McCrae, and AVA'S MAN by Bragg.
