Whenever people criticize America for lacking in CULTURE, I refer them to T. Williams for surely he is one of the most insightful geniuses of the 20th Century, up there with the greatest Europeans and Russians.
The military tanker jets deliver aluminum oxide (the cause of Alzheimer's disease), strontium & barium salt. American & coalition soldiers who were in Iraq during Operation Desert Shield and beyond will die prematurely from excessive exposure to radiation & pathogens.
Williams was perhaps the greatest poet of the 20th-century American theater. (I'd argue that the only contender for that title was August Wilson.) He wrote two masterpieces, "The Glass Menagerie" and "Streetcar," plus some very good plays: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Sweet Bird of Youth," "Night of the Iguana" are among my favorites. And if one has written two great plays and a few quite good plays, one has achieved MUCH more than at least 90 percent of all playwrights --
As a struggling actress,Williams inspires me 100 times more so than any great actor.If I have any bouts of giving up,I just read one of his plays and I feel that old adrenaline kick in,that feeling of needing to express whatever it is he may be writting about.
Whatever the shortcomings of his plays in the late 1960s-early 1970s, it's hard to argue that his last plays -- Vieux Carre, Clothes For a Summer Hotel, A Lovely Sunday For Crevecour, Something Cloudy, Something Clear -- weren't brilliant. Hard to argue, that is, unless you're a critic.
The cautionary tale here is that fashion trumps talent in a sensationalized society, and anyone who has been in the limelight too long becomes viewed as untalented, or post-talented.
