Industry Reviews
"I simply had the vision of a woman in her late youth. She was sitting in a chair all alone by a window with the moonlight streaming in on her desolate face, and she'd been stood up by the man she planned to marry."
"Now I'm also worried about Ten, who spoke like from a tomb about himself saying 'Streetcar' was his highest achievement and that he was getting weaker physically and as a writer.--This is complete nonsense as he is such a great and tremendous writer, so talented, what can one say to quiet this fear of his which is so unfounded?"
