What is Where I live : selected essays about?

Tennessee Williams' witty, engaging, and elegant essays are now available in a revised and much expanded edition. For most of his Broadway plays Tennessee Williams composed an essay, most often for The New York Times , to be published just prior to openingsomething to whet the theatergoers appetites and to get the critics thinking. Many of these were collected in the 1978 volume Where I Live , which is now expanded by noted Williams scholar John S. Bak to include all of Williams theater essays, biographical pieces, introductions and reviews.
