One of Tennessee Williams's first plays, "Not About Nightingales" portrays the lives of inmates in a Pennsylvania prison who were steamed to death after leading their fellow prisoners on a hunger strike.

Jacques Maritain (18 November 1882 - 28 April 1973) was a French Catholic philosopher. Raised as a Protestant, he converted to Catholicism in 1906. An author of more than 60 books, he helped to revive St. Thomas Aquinas for modern times and is a prominent drafter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A two-act play written in 1979-80 by Tennessee Williams concerning the relationship between novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. A critical and commercial failure, it was Williams' last play to debut on Broadway during his lifetime. The play takes place over a one-day visit Scott pays the institutionalized Zelda at Highland Mental Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, with a series of flashbacks to their marriage in the twenties.

The first collected letters by Williams to be published, rich in anecdote and gossip, spirited and uninhibited in tone. Most are from 1940-1951, when the two writers were passing from obscurity to success. Williams was 28 when he met the 19-year-old Windham. They decided to collaborate on a play, and while Windham stayed in New York, Williams roamed the country, searching out solitude or beautiful young men as his volatile moods dictated. The letters celebrate the worlds of publishing, theater, and film, but also offer glimpses of sources of Williams' drama in long, moving letters about his family, whose misery caused him so much anguish and conflict. Framing this spontaneous and mercurial talk is Windham's reflective commentary.--From publisher description.
