Tennessee Williams and the South

"Tennessee Williams remarked on several occasions that the farther South one went in America, the more congenial life became. Though he sojourned elsewhere, he embraced the South, the region of his birth, as his creative homeland. Few writers have been more closely connected with it than he. He wrote, he said, not only of the present but also of the past and of a South that had no counterpart anywhere else." "Combining his words with pictures, this biographical album reveals the closeness of Williams with the American South. Although he roamed far, he never forgot the "more congenial climate" the South afforded him and his creativity."
