Collected Stories
Author : Tennessee Williams
Publisher : New Directions Publishing
Page : 610 pages
File Size : 49,38 MB
Release : 1994-04-17
Category : Fiction
ISBN : 0811220818
Book Description
This definitive collection establishes Williams as a major American fiction writer of the twentieth century. Tennessee Williams’ Collected Stories combines the four short-story volumes published during Williams’ lifetime with previously unpublished or uncollected stories. Arranged chronologically, the forty-nine stories, when taken together with the memoir of his father that serves as a preface, not only establish Williams as a major American fiction writer of the twentieth century, but also, in Gore Vidal’s view, constitute the real autobiography of Williams’ "art and inner life."
