Mis obras de teatro largas surgen a partir de obras en un acto y relatos cortos anteriores. Las palabras de Tennessee Williams explican el contenido de La noche de la iguana y otros relatos, una recopilacion de relatos que contiene la semilla de muchas de sus obras dramaticas mas conocidas. A pesar de que la critica coincide en homologar su calidad con los de Truman Capote, estos relatos nunca hasta hoy habian sido traducidos al español.Tennessee Williams ha sido uno de los mayores dramaturgos americanos del siglo, junto a ONeill y Arthur Miller. La noche de la iguana, Un tranvia llamado deseo, La gata sobre el tejado de cinc caliente, Verano y humo, Dulce pajaro de juventud, son algunos de los titulos que, en Broadway primero y en Hollywood despues, le hicieron celebre. Pero, en cierta medida, al menos fuera de Estado Unidos, su fortuna en el teatro y en cine eclipso otros aspectos de su enorme talento. Gran narrador y poeta. Encuadernacion: Rustica.
