Whether Williams is writing of derelict roomers in a New Orleans boarding house (\u003cem\u003eThe Lady of Larkspur Lotion\u003c\/em\u003e) or the memories of a venerable traveling salesman (\u003cem\u003eThe Last of My Solid Gold Watches\u003c\/em\u003e) or of delinquent children (\u003cem\u003eThis Property is Condemned\u003c\/em\u003e), his insight into human nature is that of the poet. He can compress the basic meaning of life--its pathos or its tragedy, its bravery or the quality of its love--into one small scene or a few moments of dialogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mr. Williams's views on the role of the little theater in American culture are contained in a stimulating essay, Something wild..., which serves as an introduction to this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 7.99 x 5.18 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 1966\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47446977151197,"sku":"9780811202251","price":20.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/c0tlcitmSVBUNHF3NW51WjZtSDQ2dz09_90e47654-4799-4223-8f4c-6833ca60cdeb.webp?v=1771496025","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/27-wagons-full-of-cotton-and-other-plays-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
