Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie, Vintage New Classics Trade paperback 10th printing, circa 1970s, general wear, tanning, very good condition. The Glass Menagerie is Tennessee Williams's semi-autobiographical "memory play" about the Wingfield family in 1930s St. Louis, focusing on the narrator Tom, his overbearing mother Amanda, and his crippled, shy sister Laura, who retreats into her collection of glass animals. The play explores themes of illusion vs. reality, memory, and escape, as Amanda tries to find a "gentleman caller" for Laura, leading to disillusionment for all. It was Williams's first major success, launching his career and becoming a cornerstone of American theater.
