Four Plays: Summer and Smoke / Orpheus Descending / Suddenly Last Summer / Period of Adjustment
Tennessee Williams - 1956
"The innocent and the damned, the lonely and the frustrated, the hopeful and the hopeless . . . (Williams) brings them all into focus with an earthy, irreverently comic passion."--Newsweek.
The Grass Harp, Including A Tree of Night and Other Stories
Truman Capote - 1956
AS they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, The Grass Harp manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom. But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, "that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life."This volume also includes Capote's A Tree of Night and Other Stories, which the Washington Post called "unobstrusively beautiful...a superlative book."
