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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tennessee Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811202259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811202251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/1966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.18w x 0.64d","brand":"Tennessee Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047793062143,"sku":"9780811202251","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d45cf540-6868-40ca-a067-ea02844620f8.jpg?v=1684992206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/27-wagons-full-of-cotton-tennessee-williams-9780811202251","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
