User reviews

LibraryThing member Chris_V
A collection of Tennessee Williams shorter fiction which encompasses a staggering 50 years of written output.

Added to this there is a sympathetic and insightful introduction by Gore Vidal.
LibraryThing member CurrerBell
A nice assemblage of Vidal's shorter prose fiction with a good introduction by Gore Vidal. The quality of the stories themselves is ragged, however, with the best being actually not fiction but autobiographical memoir.
