Five O'clock Angel : Letters of Tennessee Williams to Maria St. Just, 1948-1982

Rating:
Summary: Tennessee and the Angel
Review: I love this book. It is a collection of letters primarily from Tennessee Williams to Maria St. Just. Maria and Tenn (as he is known to close friends) have a long-standing friendship and close connection. Only a few letters of Maria to Tennessee survive but Tennessee's letters reveal an intimate portrait of Tennessee's world, family, loves and life.

I felt I was a part of this wonderful world of Tenn in Florida, Tenn and his mother & sister, Tenn in Italy and London, Tenn and his companion, Frank ("the Horse") and all that makes up Tennessee's talented world.

Maria St. Just has provided her insights and notes about the letters.

I wish this book was still in print! I would love a copy for my personal delectation and collection -- for the letters are DELICIOUS.
