i cried reading this. considering the time it was written, it’s so rare to find a male writer center female characters, from their own POV, and treat them with so much love and sympathy. he doesn’t forgive or excuse any of his characters, but he really breathes life into them in a refreshing way

there are moments where Tennessee’s fruitiness show in his stage directions and that really adds to the experience!

it didn't really have much plot and i'm not entirely sure of the purpose or message of the story, but i liked it and think that emotions were displayed very accurately.

Will need to reread to fully grasp my opinions, but very many troubling, however important, themes throughout and is representative of the time it was written. Great execution from Williams!

As tags say, read at your own risk of these! These things would usually mean I don't pick up the book in the first place, but it was a required reading. Still really good in grasping the attitudes towards different minorities and treatment of such groups in the 1940s America.
