Williams, Tennessee. The Eccentricities of a Nightingale and Summer and Smoke. New Directions, New York, 1964.

Price: US$54.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: Nice copy. Eccentricities was written by author intending it as a substiture for the original version of Summer and Smoke which had not yet been performed. It has fewer characters, a simpler and more stgraightforward action, and a denouement that is, in the author's own words, "less conventional and melodramatic." So both plays complete here. A clean, nice copy that has faint dusting to top edge and light rubbing to front fold. No chips, tears, creasing or soiling. In mylar. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
