About this title

About the Author:

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) is the acclaimed author of many books of letters, short stories, poems, essays, and a large collection of plays, including The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Camino Real, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Orpheus Descending, The Night of the Iguana, and The Rose Tattoo.

Review:

“Lovely writing. Some of his descriptive passages unfold like dark flowers. There’s charm, grace, beauty here. Moise has the sound and feel of art.”
- The Washington Post

“In terms of sexual candor, Moise and the World of Reason is Williams’s most liberated statement. There is a bristling wit here, charm, and temperament.”
- The New Republic

“The novel bears the playwright’s familiar stamp on almost every page. And underlying the novel is Mr. Williams’s message that if people can only find a little love in the dark night―a little warmth, a little kindness, a hand extended across the chasm―they will be saved from the icy world of reason that so oppresses them.”
- The New York Times
