About this book

This Literary Life draws extensively from the playwright's correspondences, notebooks, and archival papers to offer an original angle to the discussion of Williams's life and work, and the times and circumstances that helped produce it.

Reviews

'New biography reveals US playwright's unflattering views of contemporaries, by drawing on unpublished work' - The Guardian

'A new biography of him by John Bak revealing his privately expressed, sulphurous views of his rivals, of actors, of theatre directors and of audiences, not to say of humanity in general has just been published to coincide with the anniversary.' - The Telegraph
