Flexible boards. Zustand: Very Good+. Unstated edition. (flexible boards) [modest external wear, a bit of light pencil underlining and annotation, mostly in the first two scenes]. (Gold Series) Series (author photo frontispiece, stage diagram) Uncommon edition of Williams's first major success, his autobiographical "memory play,…" which was a Broadway hit (following its initial production in Chicago) and received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best American Play of the 1944-1945 season. This particular edition, although printed in Japan "by arrangement with the author's agent through Mr. G. Thomas Folster," is almost entirely in English, including the full text of the play itself, apart from a four-page introduction in Japanese. The most interesting material, following five pages of "Production Notes" (signed "T.W.," so presumably carried over from some earlier edition), is an extensive glossary of the many unusual English words and colloquial expressions used in the play, along with their Japanese translations or equivalents. (One can easily imagine a Japanese reader struggling with the meanings of phrases like "set her cap for," "gone up the spout," or "cutting a rug.").
