Camino Real (New Directions Paperbook)

Camino Real (New Directions Paperbook)

Now with a new introduction, the author's original Foreword and Afterword, the one-act play 10 Blocks on the Camino Real, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar, Michael Paller.
In this phantasmagorical play, the Camino Real is a dead end, a police state in a vaguely Latin American country, and an inescapable condition. Characters from history and literatureâ€•Don Quixote, Casanova, Camille, Lord Byronâ€•inhabit a place where corruption and indifference have immobilized and nearly destroyed the human spirit. Then, into this netherworld, the archetypal Kilroy arrivesâ€•a sailor and all-American guy with â€œa heart as big as the head of baby.â€ Celebrated American playwright John Guare has written an illuminative Introduction for this edition. Also included are Williamsâ€™ original Foreword and Afterword to the play, the one-act play Ten Blocks on the Camino Real, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar Michael Paller.
