Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen

T01022149117
From the mid-1930s, long before he achieved recognition with The Glass Menagerie, Williams was a prolific writer of poetry and short stories & plays; and it is in these micro-dramas, rich with poetic insight, that he began exploring his life-long theme of the search for salvation, happiness - paradise even - in an imperfect world. This Property is Condemned - Willie, a teenage girl in a ragged party dress, lives alone in her family's abandoned house, and then one day, playing on the railroad track, she meets a boy who will listen to her story... Mr Paradise - A young woman seeks out the poet Anthony Paradise in his squalid house in New Orleans, determined to tell the world of his greatness - but ?Paradise' is just a pen-name, and he insists she wait until his death. Auto-da-Fe - A classic Tennessee Williams encounter between a mother and her son, Eloi, whose world is blown apart by the discovery of an indecent photograph. Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen... - A young couple create a quiet place of refuge for themselves in the midst of a cruel city.
Author Tennessee Williams
