Klappentext: "Tennessee Williams ist einer der bedeutendsten und meistgespielten Dramatiker der Nachkriegszeit. Seine Dramen kreisen um die Suche nach Liebe in einer kalten Welt, Williams ist der Poet der Gefühle genannt worden, ein Dichter, der die Emotionen des Menschen immer in Gefahr sah, in der Welt der Vernunft unterzugehen. In Tennessee Williams' einzigen Roman geht es um eine verzweifelte Absage an diese Welt. Schauplatz ist Greenwich Village, das Künstlerviertel von New York. Moise ist eine junge mittellose, an der eigenen Kompromißlosigkeit krankende Malerin, die es niemals schafft, ein Bild zu vollenden. Der Erzähler, ein junger Mann aus Alabama, der entschlossen ist, Schriftsteller zu werden, trauert um seinen gestorbenen Geliebten Lance. Der Roman schildert in einem chaotischen Sturzbach von Sprache die Eindrücke, Erlebnisse und Erinnerungen dieses jungen Mannes in einer einzigen Nacht in Greenwich Village - der Nacht von Moises sorgfältig inszeniertem Abschied von der Welt der Vernunft. Zwei künstlerisch großartige Selbstporträts finden sich in diesem Text. Tennessee Williams schildert sich selbst als den jungen erfolglosen Schriftsteller und zugleich als älteren, saturierten, aber zugleich verzweifelten älteren Dramatiker, der den jüngeren mit Geldangeboten zu korrumpieren versucht. Der Dreißigjährige, der die große Liebe seines Lebens verloren hat und sich in der Kälte eines Daseins ohne Liebe einrichten muß, steht dem arrivierten Fünfzigjährigen gegenüber, der versucht, Liebe zu kaufen. Dieser Roman ist eine tour de force, ein oft exaltierter, obszöner, wilder Versuch, die Welt des Gefühls zu beschwören. Er hat viel von der Intensität und der schrillen Ehrlichkeit von Tennessee Williams' besten Theaterstücken."

First edition. Fine in a slightly age-toned, else fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by Williams to actress Ruth Ford: "To Ruth with my heart on my sleeve. Love, Tennessee." In Williams' *Memoirs* he refers to Ford as "the wise and lovely actress, Ruth Ford, who seems to have been born with more worldly wisdom than I have accumulated even at this point in life." Ford, the Mississippi-born sister of surrealist author Charles Henri Ford, was a beautiful model and actress, first in Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre, and later in films and theater. Notably, she starred on Broadway in Jean Paul Sartre's *No Exit* in 1946, under the direction of John Huston (the last of five Broadway plays he directed). Her apartment in the Dakota became a salon for authors such as Williams, Edward Albee, Terrence McNally, and Truman Capote. A chance encounter between Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents in her Manhattan living room led to their collaboration, with her Dakota-neighbor Leonard Bernstein, on *West Side Story*. Similarly, she brought together Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight to create the celebrated stories of *Eloise*, the little girl who lived at the Plaza. Ford is well known also for her long friendship with William Faulkner, which began with her dating his brother Dean in the early 1930s. Faulkner was openly smitten with Ford for many years. He wrote his experimental 1951 title *Requiem for a Nun*, a sequel to his early and controversial novel *Sanctuary*, with her in mind. He further declared, to the consternation of his agent and publisher, that it was her dramatic property (*Requiem for a Nun* was a mixture of stage play and novel). Stage production of the title stalled for years, partly because Faulkner's experimental drama did not lend itself to live theatre, and partly because the producers were unsure of Ford's suitability. Faulkner was adamant that it was her dramatic property, and in 1959 she adapted the play herself and starred in its London production opposite her second husband, Zachary Scott. Her stage version received enthusiastic reviews in both London and New York, but did not fare so well with audiences and closed after a short run on Broadway. Ford continued to act on both stage and screen well into the 1980s. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 98. A wonderful inscription and nice association.

What’s not to like about Tennessee Williams’s most forthright work about homosexual love, with its gay figure skaters, runaways, and sex?An erotic, sensual, and comic novel that was a generation ahead of its time, Moise and the World of Reason has at its center the need of three people for each other: Lance, the beautiful black figure skater full of love and lust for young men as well as a craving for drugs; the nameless gay young narrator, a runaway writer from Alabama who lives near the piers of New York City’s West Village, c. 1975, frantically filling notebooks with his observations; and Moise, a young woman who speaks in riddles and can never finish her paintings or consummate her affairs. The long unavailable Moise and the World of Reason represents a kind of uncensored Williams, radically frank, fully articulated, and deeply tender: a true gem., Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st, Label: Simon & Schuster, Simon & Schuster, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1975-05-15, Studio: Simon & Schuster, Verkaufsrang: 1961704.
