具体描述
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.

##老实说我无法对Tom喜欢起来
评分 评分 评分 评分 评分 评分这三天断断续续把这本看完。大师，您的人生确实是辛酸。读戏剧是从王尔德开始的，后来发现了田纳西。田老有蛮多部戏剧的，我目前买了2部。这本玻璃动物园是由通过作者在St. Louis时候的日子的生活改编成的戏剧。虽说整个篇幅没有任何一个细节然我有想落泪的冲动，但是田纳西曾经说过:"The saddest play I ever written. It's full of pain. It's painful for me to see it."剧中人物都在逃避着各自面对着他们的残酷的现实，只是逃避，没有对之做法抗。所以为什么田纳西会说这样的话可想而知。
评分##一般，远远比不上读的上两本田纳西精彩，比较平实，唯一亮眼的是摔断角的独角兽，"Is it broken?" "Now it is just like all the other horses."
