Tennessee Williams knew how to tell a good tale, and this steamy, wrenching play about a faded movie star, Alexandra Del Lago, and about the lost innocence and corruption of Chance Wayne, reveals the dark side of the American dreams of youth and fame. Distinguished American playwright Lanford Wilson has written an insightful Introduction for this edition. Also included are Williams' original Foreword to the play; the one-act playThe Enemy: Time--the germ for the full-length version, published here for the first time; an essay by Tennessee Williams scholar, Colby H. Kullman; and a chronology of the author's life. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Some of the previous statements must be true, because I couldn't relate to any character in this book.
Sure, I can understand most of them, Williams has done a great job. Their motives and emotions are crystal clear to the viewer...but I couldn't care less.
The washed out, formerly stunningly handsome man tries to make it big, but is bitch-slapped by life and realizes he has not only lost the ones he loves, but his youth as well.
We've seen this scenario many times, mostly in films, and maybe this is one of the reasons that I couldn't engage emotionally enough in this story. It's mostly a character development drama, with a plot I've seen before, and don't care about, and characters that I have nothing in common with.
It's beautifully written and it's apparent that Williams is very talented and did the best possible job in writing this.
Still, for me, it was something that I'll probably have forgotten in a year or two. ( )
