Chapter 66, "The Shark Massacre"
Tennessee Williams' new move, Suddenly, Last Summer, seems to have
infuriated more wowsers than any literary work since Joyce's Ulysses. From
north, south, east and west the impassioned voices resound, declaring that
Wifliams is "sick," "morbid," "unwholesome," and generally a sad blend of the
unheimlich and the mashugga.
"Almost intolerably evil," fulminates Parents magazine. "Clinical, distasteful,
morbid, extraordinarily shocking," howls McCall's. The weeping and
gnashing of teeth from other sources is even more heart-rending. One
would think that the wisdom of Christ or the immaculate conception of
Eleanor Roosevelt had been challenged.
Actually, all that Williams has done is to confront some of the issues
which great tragedy has always raised, from Sophocles through Shakespeare,
right up to Melville. Suddenly, Last Summer, far from being sick, is Williams'
healthiest work—because it is his bravest.
