No suspense, just good art

By the time he wrote this novel, Tennessee Williams had long since earned the right to describe a condition instead of narrating a page-turner. Here, you turn the pages because a serious artist is spellbinding even in simplicity, not because you are being manipulated by some Hollywood hack. Williams didn't need to write about serial killers. He didn't need silly literary hooks or meretricious pyrotechnics. He was a poet and brought a poet's skill to his book. If you want to see what a literary novel can be, I recommend this without reservation. It might make you want to give up on the serial killer books and start reading something decent for a change.
