Tennesse Williams is recognized as one of America’s greatest twentieth century authors, playwrights. Some of his most famous theatrical works – Glass Menagerie, Streetcar Named Desire – were not only adapted for Hollywood’s big screen, but they are also still recognized by literature aficionados, theatrical critics, and academics as premiere works of literary greatness.

But despite all of the awards, accolades afforded him and being counted among the pantheon of literary renown, “Tennessee Williams” was not who he claimed to be. As so often happens when held beneath the microscope of investigation, the foundational credibility of Williams’s ‘official’ biography becomes reduced to the realm of myth. Turns out, the most destructive investigative factor which contributed to the demise of the literary figure’s legendary status was the revelation that Williams had something in common – SEE: Cold Blooded Truth about Truman Capote – with literary contemporary “Truman Capote”.
