Author Bio
Tennessee Williams
The son of a traveling salesman, Thomas Lanier Williams attended the University of Missouri from 1931 to 1933, Washington University (1936-1937), and the University of Iowa, from which he earned his undergraduate degree in 1938. His first published work was an essay in "Smart Set", published by H. L. Mencken. Williams's plays are noted for their Southern themes, their well-drawn women characters, and a certain air of pathos. He won many prizes for his work, including two Drama Critics' Circle Awards and two Pulitzer Prizes.
Praise
Paris Review
"I simply had the vision of a woman in her late youth. She was sitting in a chair all alone by a window with the moonlight streaming in on her desolate face, and she'd been stood up by the man she planned to marry." - Tennessee Williams Journals
"Now I'm also worried about Ten, who spoke like from a tomb about himself saying 'Streetcar' was his highest achievement and that he was getting weaker physically and as a writer.--This is complete nonsense as he is such a great and tremendous writer, so talented, what can one say to quiet this fear of his which is so unfounded?" - Maria St. Just
