description: The book provides a detailed analysis of Tennessee Williams's ethical standards as presented in his works until 1975. Williams sees meaningful life in our society threatened by such false attitudes as flight from reality, the American Dream, sexual abuse, violence, and mendacity. But a purpose in life can be attained through moral relationships with one's fellow men.
