  • Description

    The Glass Menagerie is Tennessee Williams’ most famous play.

    Summary of the Book

    Tom Wingfield has been running from his ghosts for as long as he can remember. He spends his life in a shoe-factory, destroying the talent he has for poetry through monotonous work. He does this for his mother and sister, taking on the mantle of a guardian ever since his father abandoned them. He tries to escape his existence by visiting bars and watching films. He finds the very act of waking up in the morning a melancholic practise. His need to help his family survive, and his own struggle with his suppressed gift stand against America’s darkest hour for the Second World War looms in the distance and all the peace Tom has ever known will be shattered once and for all. This play is known for its powerful dialogue, its evocative imagery and for its status as the play which launched Williams’ career.

    Super!

    The play is influenced by authors' own life and it is more or less a memory play. The play is beautifully written although some readers may find the end to be on a sad, dissatisfying note. The play got Tennessee Williams the acclamation and thereafter Williams is counted among the most celebrated playwrights of America.

    I received the book in perfect condition. The font size is normal and the page quality is good as well. The introduction is short and informative.
