The Glass Menagerie
A New Directions edition of Tennessee Williams's 1944 memory play about a mother, a son, and a daughter who collects glass animals. The text is brief, the stage directions are unusually literary, and the emotional pressure is high. New Directions has kept it in print in a compact format that suits the claustrophobia of the play. The cover is the classic New Directions look: modernist, spare, and slightly fragile. New Directions prices it low enough that students can buy it twice if they underline too aggressively. Ideal reader: the reader who wants American drama before it learned to be ironic, or the person who recognizes their own family in the Wingfields' trapped tenderness.
