Eve Adamson, director of the original 1981 production, provides an insightful introduction in which she captures the play's heart-breaking appeal: \"It is a delicately woven tapestry of past and present, vulnerability and toughness, impetuous action and mature insight. It seeks a reconciliation between love and art, life and death, and-to use two phrases which recur in the play--exigencies of desperation and negotiation of terms. The cloudy and the clear.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tennessee Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811213102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213103\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 10\/17\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.63w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1995 pg. 131\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1995 pg. 178","brand":"Tennessee Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452531294463,"sku":"9780811213103","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd678a2a-017f-4419-a0d1-7a9864a2e2d8.jpg?v=1761928979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/something-cloudy-something-clear-tennessee-williams-9780811213103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
