A review by tiixtai
Memoirs by Tennessee Williams

4.0

I think I'm giving this four stars out of loyalty - it's hard to say. The book seemed to become more awkward the closer the memories got to the moment of writing, which is very understandable. Williams is both reassuringly human and frustratingly human. I don't think he wrote this for me. I think he wrote this for a contemporary audience thinking he was going to die soon and thinking he could get the last word in a hypothetical debate. Four stars for the anecdotes, for driving in cars and arranging parties to impress celebrities who never show up and holidaying in Italy, and three stars for the prattling on about plays and reviews and other people's opinions.
