Sweet Bird of Youth (tennessee Williams)
About This Novel
One of the three greatest American dramatists of the 20th century, a genius playwright; Paul Newman's classic original script for the screen, life is a wild dream; the complex character creation shows the cunning and fragility of human nature, a classic case of the American Film Institute. This book is a three-act play by Tennessee Williams. It was first performed in 1959 and the film version was released in 1962. The work tells the story of Chance Wayne, a young man from the American South whose mind and tongue are accustomed to racing wild horses, and his awakening from a broken dream. For his wild dream, he did not hesitate to get close to an older and outdated female star, trying to use her to knock on the door of destiny and make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, even if his knuckles were bloody. He returned to his hometown with the intention of restarting his old youthful dream, but found that his once pure and flawless youth with a clear conscience would never return. He had spent half his life fighting under the iron curtain of profit, leaving only despairing ambitions and withered laurels.
