The 2012 issue of TWAR features scholarly essays on The Rose Tattoo, This Is the Peaceable Kingdom, and Something Unspoken; an argument that Tennessee Williams’s sister Rose was on the autism spectrum, rather than being schizophrenic; an exploration of the influence of van Gogh, Gauguin, and other European painters on Williams’s writing; and a review of productions mounted nationwide for the Williams centenary. Readers will also find a transcription of a panel discussion held at the 2011 Tennessee Williams Scholars Conference regarding African American productions of Williams’s plays.
