田纳西·威廉斯(Tennessee Williams,1911-1983)是美国20世纪最伟大的三大戏剧家之一(另外两位是尤金·奥尼尔和阿瑟·米勒),同时也是全世界范围内最重要的剧作家之一。1948年和1955年分别以其《欲望号街车》及《热铁皮屋顶上的猫》两度赢得普利策奖和戏剧评论奖;《玻璃动物园》和《鬣蜥之夜》也分别于1945年和1961年拿下纽约戏剧评论奖;1952年的玫瑰黥纹》获得托尼奖最佳戏剧奖殊荣。
The Pulitzer Prize and Drama Critics Circle Award winning play—reissued with an introduction by Arthur Miller ( Death of a Salesman and The Crucible ), and Williams' essay "The World I Live In." It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared—57 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her sexy and brutal brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden, and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation, as well as that of Elia Kazan as the greatest American stage director of the '40s and '50s. Who better than America's elder statesman of the theater, Williams' contemporary Arthur Miller, to write as a witness to the lightning that struck American culture in the form of A Streetcar Named Desire ? Miller's rich perspective on Williams' singular style of poetic dialogue, sensitive characters, and dramatic violence makes this a unique and valuable new edition of A Streetcar Named Desire . This definitive new edition will also include Williams' essay "The World I Live In," and a brief chronology of the author's life.
《欲望号街车》是一部戏剧的剧本,在百老汇轰动一时。作者田纳西·威廉斯是一位同性恋者,在上世纪四十年代,这种性取向还被认为是不道德的,需要被隐藏,还不能正大光明地生长在阳光下。正是由于这个原因,田纳西的文章总是带有这种复杂的心理。 《欲望号街车》写的是女主人公...
评分美国南部的新奥尔良,有一条叫埃里西安的街道,街角有一幢灰白的两层楼房。住在楼里的人们时常能听见破旧的电车轰隆隆地从街上驶过。那天,一楼的一对姐妹议论起了男女之间的悲欢离合。妹妹斯黛拉把男女情爱比喻成“那种暗地里发生的事儿”,姐姐布兰琪说得更坦率:“你说的的...
评分I read a lot of Tennessee Williams' writing back in high school. I thought he was mentally insane to write such strange stories. A Streetcar Named Desire was the most memorable book. Fantastic insight into human nature. Did you know that the character "St...
评分 评分经典不必多言
评分最后的自我访谈也好棒……三大剧作家读下来的感觉,奥尼尔是沉沉的黑夜和雾,阿瑟米勒是利剑与重锤,田纳西威廉斯是被碾碎的玻璃塑像。另外,有一个读原剧本才感觉非常强烈的点,布兰奇说在Belle Reve的时候,死亡的对面是欲望,她悄悄跑出去和兵营的男孩子约会,然后有卡车来,把那些男孩子像是collecting daisies那样带走。读到daisies的时候突然想到pushing daisies含义就是死亡,欲望和死亡的交织在这个表达当中突然联系在一起,太棒了
评分"I've always depended on the kindness of strangers."

评分非常规的作品。越往后面看张力越强,有点拿起来就放不下的感觉。作者说是developing tension,我觉得非常对。
