( ) I enjoyed these this collection. I'd never read or seen Streetcar before, and it was not at all what I was expecting. Honestly I found the whole thing pretty disturbing, but very well done and realistic. The Glass Menagerie was my favorite, as it was least ...troubled? and I related to the sister the most; it was also more interesting in that it was based on his own family life. I want to read more of Williams' work after this little collection.
