In this new offering in the Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations series, Harold Bloom offers his critical eye to the characters of Brick, Big Daddy, and the deceptive Maggie the Cat, presented here with a bibliography, a chronology of Williams's life, and a handy index.
From Where You Dream - The Process of Writing Fiction

In From Where You Dream,Butler reimagines the process of writing as emotional rather than intellectual, and tells writers how to achieve the dreamspace necessary for composing honest, inspired fiction. Proposing that fiction is the exploration of the human condition with yearning as its compass, Butler reinterprets the traditional tools of the craft using the dynamics of desire. Offering a direct view into the mind and craft of a literary master,From Where You Dreamis an invaluable tool for the novice and experienced writer alike.
