Publisher Notes
An authoritative study of the early life of the great American playwright draws on the author's personal friendship with the subject to examine Williams's troubled childhood, youth, and family life, as well as his struggle to discover his voice as an artist.
Media Reviews
"Plainly a work of distinction...It will be a great service to Williams's reputation and among other things may bring more of the young to an appreciation of his achievement."
