Memoirs

Work:: Memoirs (S01644350480)

Why do I resist writing about my plays? The truth is that my plays have been the most important element in my life for God knows how many years. But I feel the plays speak for themselves. And that my life hasn't and that it has been remarkable enough, in its continual contest with madness, to be worth setting upon paper... Candid, witty and frequently touching, Memoirs is told with all the compassion and insight of Williams' plays. Detailing his rise from impoverished writer to one of the twentieth century's greatest playwrights, Tennessee tells us in his own words of his liaisons and love affairs, and the intense depression that blighted his existence. In witty, gossipy vignettes he recalls amazing friends and acquaintances from stage, screen and literature: Ernest Hemingway, Marlon Brando and Laurette Taylor among them.
