[Ads-l] Article in The New Yorker: Did This Writer Actually Know Tennessee Williams?

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

In 2015 prestigious publisher Knopf released “Follies of God:
Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog” by James Grissom. The
book contains many quotations ascribed to Tennessee Williams and
various actresses. Now an article in "The New Yorker" suggests that
the author might be a fabulist, and some of the quotations might have
been fabricated.
