Whether Williams is writing of derelict roomers in a New Orleans boarding house (\u003cem\u003eThe Lady of Larkspur Lotion\u003c\/em\u003e) or the memories of a venerable traveling salesman (\u003cem\u003eThe Last of My Solid Gold Watches\u003c\/em\u003e) or of delinquent children (\u003cem\u003eThis Property is Condemned\u003c\/em\u003e), his insight into human nature is that of the poet. He can compress the basic meaning of life--its pathos or its tragedy, its bravery or the quality of its love--into one small scene or a few moments of dialogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mr. Williams's views on the role of the little theater in American culture are contained in a stimulating essay, \"Something wild...,\" which serves as an introduction to this collection.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"27 Wagons Full of Cotton and Other Plays | Tennessee Williams | Paperback | 9780811202251 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790895","offer_id":68005370593432,"sku":"1790895","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81DDJBrabDL.jpg?v=1794706562","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/27-wagons-full-of-cotton-and-other-plays","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
