I think that reading the letters written by Tennessee Williams to her best friend, Maria St Just, is the best way to really know who T.Williams was.
His autobiography is so lame and boring that it's useless to read it.
His letters are true, funny, honest and kind. It is a pity that Tennessee Williams didn't keep the letters written by Maria St Just, but nevertherless, reading his letters is fascinating.
We can see how he loved and trusted her.
He talked about his life, his sister Rose, his companion Franck Merlo (the account of his death is deeply moving), his friends,his works, the stage and film adapations of his plays etc..
The anecdotes written by Maria St Just are sometimes very funny.
My favourite one is when she gave birth to her first daughter. She wanted to named her Tamara. A friend told her that only beautiful girl should go by this name. Is she pretty? And Maria St Just replied "not really" and didn't name her that way. I found this funny and honest.
