Tennessee Williams - An Intimate Memoir

This exceptionally candid, provocative, funny yet moving account of the great playwright's life has taken American critics and readers by storm

"Almost never has a friend told as much about his subject" wrote Norman Mailer

Dotson Rader, a freelance New York writer, was close confidant and frequent companion to Williams on the road and in Manhattan and Key West for the last fourteen years of the playwright's life

Dotson Rader presents Williams as a man of immense appeal and great complexity whose famous sense of humour and self-deprecation never left him

This book, more than any other account, brings Tennessee Williams alive and enables us to understand a life that was as dramatic, tormented and bizarre as anything he ever wrote
