Episode notes

He was being recognized for his writing as early as age 16. But he in the 60s and 70s, like his partner, Frank Merlot died in 1963. Following that, he just struggled a lot with depression and with drugs and alcohol. He continued to write but he was just he was not having a great time of it personally.

We finally read a play by Volunteer State Williams! Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a rumination on a family falling apart in the South. It's also an interesting example of how revisions and rewrites can shape a story's legacy.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
