3.0 out of 5 stars I expected something different, but it's honest and it's T. Williams..., 19 Sep 2009

By	Marta Riba Oca�a "marta_riba" (BCN, Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Memoirs (Paperback)

If you do like Tennessee Williams' plays, you'll probably be interested in reading his Memoirs; in them, he does talk about where his plays' characters come from, about how their publishing and stagings were...and he, personally, is easy recognizable in every paragraph.
What I liked in this book is his honest way of describing himself and his acts; he is a person with a clear conscience, a sharp sensibility, able to see and to point at beauty in other people; and how he accepts himself and everything he feels although he admits his own faults.
However, I expected these pages to contain more about his work, writing, theatre experiences, own feelings...but he rather describes facts, meetings, people...which made its reading a bit cold and not as passionating as I had expected.
In fact, I was interested in the book but, I must say, because I knew it was Tennesse Williams, not for the book's own qualities alone.
