Tennessee Williams, 1947
WILLIAMS, Tennessee (1911-1983). A Streetcar Named Desire. New York: James Laughlin, 1947.
A fine copy of the first edition of Williams's best-known play, in Alvin Lustig's iconic dust jacket. The story, set in New Orleans, of Blanche DuBois, her sister Stella, and brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, won the 1948 Pulitzer Prize in drama. It was adapted into the 1951 film directed by Elia Kazan and starring a not-yet-famous Marlon Brando together with Vivien Leigh, who reprised her role from the London theatre production.
Octavo. Original lavender boards; pictorial dust jacket (spine with only the slightest fading, minor abrasion affecting the "re" in "Desire").
