From the editor : "Where I Live collects articles and occasional pieces written by Tennessee Williams over a thirty-year span. Chronologically arranged to give a revealing picture of the development of Williams's aesthetic and theatral sensibility, these essays address the reader on a very personal level - with clarity, directness and remarkable awareness."

Thomas Lanier Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983), known by his pen name Tennessee Williams, was an American playwright. Along with contemporaries Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.
