The selected letters of Tennessee WilliamsVol. 2: 1945-1957

Volume II of these fascinating letters extends the record of Williams' correspondence through the most successful and intensely creative period of his life, which saw the production of "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Rose Tattoo" and "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof".Featuring letters to (and sharp portraits of) Elia Kazan, Carson McCullers and Gore Vidal among others, the Broadway and Hollywood successes of America's premier dramatist are contrasted with a string of personal losses and a deepening depression.
