About This Novel
One of the three greatest American dramatists of the 20th century and a genius playwright; Williams' classic work, the source of inspiration for Wong Kar-wai's "Days of Being Wild"; a footless bird looking for redemption in life. This book is a three-act play by Williams, first performed in 1957. Carrying a guitar, a snakeskin jacket and a body of hot and wild blood, mariachi Val arrives in a traditional southern town like a fox entering a henhouse. He and the soon-to-be-widowed candy store owner Lady-an Italian woman who almost broke her fingers trying to seize life-triggered each other, awakened their passions, and attempted to save each other from hell. However, love, the imaginary answer to life, fooled them again. On the night when the candy store was about to reopen sweetly, in a commotion that accumulated hatred, hatred, and jealousy, the man and woman who did not want to wither in the darkness were still chased by death. Williams transformed Orpheus, the charming god of poetry and music in Greek mythology, who was responsible for poetry and music, into the protagonist Val. He traveled to the American South in the 1950s due to a time and space displacement, and explored the relationship between love, desire and art, as shown in the introduction to this play. As written in , this work "functioned as a kind of emotional bridge, linking the early years of my life with my current existence as a playwright", allowing the playwright's heart scarred by jackdaws to be exposed without concealment.
