“If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it. It isn’t so much his mirror as it is the distillation, the essence, of what is strongest and purest in his nature, whether that be gentleness or anger, serenity or torment, light or dark. This makes it deeper than the surface likeness of a mirror and that much more truthful.”

Today’s top item in Book News: A previously unpublished campus love story by Tennessee Williams called “Crazy Night,” will appear in the next issue of Strand magazine. The Prohibition-era tale takes place during on the last night of the semester, known as “crazy night” because of the wild parties and bootleg alcohol. It centers around disappointed love for a girl named Anna Jean – a name familiar to readers of Tennessee Williams’ memoirs, which recount a “poignant and innocent little affair” with a “very charming” girl of that name.
