Book Synopsis
What’s not to like about Tennessee Williams’s most forthright work about homosexual love, with its gay figure skaters, runaways, and sex?

Trade Review
"Lovely writing. Some of his descriptive passages unfold like dark flowers. There’s charm, grace, beauty here. Moise has the sound and feel of art." -- The Washington Post
"In terms of sexual candor, Moise and the World of Reason is Williams’s most liberated statement. There is a bristling wit here, charm, and temperament." -- The New Republic
"The novel bears the playwright’s familiar stamp on almost every page. And underlying the novel is Mr. Williams’s message that if people can only find a little love in the dark night—a little warmth, a little kindness, a hand extended across the chasm—they will be saved from the icy world of reason that so oppresses them." -- The New York Times
