"Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh" gives intimate access to the mind of one of the most brilliant dramatists of his century, whose plays reshaped the American theater & the nation's sense of itself. This astute, deeply researched biography sheds a light on Tennessee Williams' warring family, his guilt, his creative triumphs & failures, his sexuality & numerous affairs, his misreported death, even the shenanigans surrounding his estate. With vivid cameos of the formative influences in Williams' life (his fierce, belittling father Cornelius; his puritanical, domineering mother Edwina; his demented sister Rose, who was lobotomized at the age of thirty-three; his beloved grandfather, the Reverend Walter Dakin) "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh" is as much a biography of the man who created "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Glass Menagerie" & "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as it is a trenchant exploration of Williams' plays & the tortured process of bringing them to stage & screen. The portrait of Williams himself is unforgettable: a virgin until he was 26, he had serial homosexual affairs thereafter as well as long-time, bruising relationships with Pancho Gonzalez & Frank Merlo. With compassion & verve, Lahr explores how Williams' relationships informed his work & how the resulting success brought turmoil to his personal life. Lahr captures not just Williams' tempestuous public persona but also his backstage life, where his agent Audrey Wood & the director Elia Kazan play major roles, & Marlon Brando, Anna Magnani, Bette Davis, Maureen Stapleton, Diana Barrymore, & Tallulah Bankhead have scintillating walk-on parts. This is a biography of the highest order: a book about the major American playwright of his time written by the major American drama critic of his time. HIGHEST PRAISE: "Unsurpassable . . . An eloquent, spellbinding narrative that emerges as an instant classic." -Ron Chernow * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: National Book Award finalist JOHN LAHR is the author of "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh" among other books. He was the senior drama critic of The New Yorker for over two decades. He has twice won the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism & is the first critic ever to win a Tony Award (coauthor, "Elaine Stritch at Liberty").
