5/27/2023 0 Comments John lahr tennessee williams![]() ![]() Williams has been on my mind for the nearly two decades I’ve been researching W. ![]() While in the city, we made several visits to Faulkner House Books in the French Quarter I’d seen a brick of a book there called Tennessee Williams: Notebooks, edited by Margaret Bradham Thornton, and couldn’t stop thinking about it. When we left Laurel, we followed Stella and Blanche’s path down to New Orleans. They would have been roughly the same age as my wife’s grandmother. I also did a lot of thinking about Stella and Blanche DuBois, the sisters who, as imagined by Tennessee Williams in A Streetcar Named Desire, also hailed from Laurel. In December 2012, I spent several days in Laurel, Mississippi, with my wife, researching her grandmother’s family history and childhood.
