摘要

When Thomas Lanier Williams Ⅲ decided, in his early 20s, to become a playwright, he had, by his own admission, "not seen more than two or three professional productions: touring companies that passed through the South and Middle West". Of his first professionally produced play he wrote, "Probably no man has ever written for the theatre with less foreknowledge of it." But he had one thing going for him: he was raised in a supremely dysfunctional family anchored by two parents who loathed each other. His father, Cornelius Coffin "cc" Williams, was a taciturn and loveless travelling salesman prone to fits of drunken rage (he hailed from one of the first families of Tennessee-whence his son's pen-name). Edwina, Williams's mother, was judgmental, frigid and pious, but also as loquacious as her husband was laconic. Williams's sister Rose lived mostly in mental institutions, and underwent one of the first lobot-omies performed in America (she was also the principal beneficiary of Williams's considerable trust fund after his death).
