Midcentury discrimination kept their loving, turbulent same-sex relationship out of the public eye, but in private Williams could pen his conflicted grief in straightforward language. Inside the issue, scholars explore a little-known painting by Williams and highlight new biographical material, and a treasure trove of essays on inventive stage productions show the playwright's work reflecting and shaping cultural contexts on two continents. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Historic New Orleans Collection","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47578554499223,"sku":"9780917860928","price":1810.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780917860928.webp?v=1774906408","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-tennessee-williams-annual-review-2024-volume-23-9780917860928","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
