Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evening writing. He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Baby Doll (1957), Orpheus Descending (1957), Something Unspoken (1958), Suddenly Last Summer (1958), Period of Adjustment (1960), The Night of the Iguana (1961), The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963), and Small Craft Warnings (1972). Tennessee Williams died in 1983.
A sizzling drama of desire, avarice and deception set in the American Deep South, Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is publish ed in Penguin Modern Classics.'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.

由於某種原因,開始做田納西威廉斯的論文。 投機取巧+僥幸心理+自以為的小聰明,沒有讀完原著,便開始大量看論文。 結果就像做魚香肉絲時放瞭醃鬍蘿蔔湯一樣,隻有討厭的鬍蘿蔔味兒。 在這個gay如火如荼的伸張權利之時,就像當初奴隸解放,黑人爭取地位時所有的輿論導嚮都與此...
評分很多年以前在一本法國作傢的文集上看到過,傢庭的實質是一群互相仇視的男人、女人、孩子,居住在同一個屋簷下。 無處不是謊言與欺騙。很難說得清楚,究竟是生活欺騙瞭人們,還是人們欺騙瞭生活。仿佛唯有欺騙,纔是人與生活唯一相處的形式。我們假裝融洽,假裝相愛,唯有這樣纔...

評分相對還是更喜歡欲望。
評分還是更喜歡《欲望》,那部裏麵衝突的核心沒有這裏具象化,可能我更喜歡戲劇裏那種個人或某一特殊群體的絕境吧。Brick有點讓我想起Hemingway那些主人公,the additional charm of that cool air of detachment that people who have gicen up the struggle, 不過他是被動的。包括Maggie the cat,這部是關於一種焦灼,從現實來的脅迫感。
