Williams wrote: “This is a play about love in its purest terms.” It is also Williams’s robust and persuasive plea for endurance and resistance in the face of human suffering. The earthy widow Maxine Faulk is proprietress of a rundown hotel at the edge of a Mexican cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean where the defrocked Rev. Shannon, his tour group of ladies from a West Texas women’s college, the self-described New England spinster Hannah Jelkes and her ninety-seven-year-old grandfather, Jonathan Coffin (“the world’s oldest living and practicing poet”), a family of grotesque Nazi vacationers, and an iguana tied by its throat to the veranda, all find themselves assembled for a rainy and turbulent night.

This is the first trade paperback edition of The Night of the Iguana and comes with an Introduction by award-winning playwright Doug Wright, the author’s original Foreword, the short story “The Night of the Iguana” which was the germ for the play, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar, Kenneth Holditch.

“I’m tired of conducting services in praise and worship of a senile delinquent—yeah, that’s what I said, I shouted! All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent and, by God, I will not and cannot continue to conduct services in praise and worship of this…this…this angry, petulant old man.”
        —The Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon, from The Night of the Iguana .]]> 0 0 false Fri Oct 09 14:01:16 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 14:01:16 -0700 2009 19494946 1056992 629931 0822208237 9780822208235 23 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/629931.The_Night_of_the_Iguana 3.81 560 4 0 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 04 20:55:15 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 06:09:31 -0700 2008 36657025 292104 1696780 045106609X 9780451066091 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1696780.The_Night_of_the_Iguana 3.81 560 0 0 false Fri Oct 31 18:40:59 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 18:42:20 -0700 2008 37350302 233265 629931 0822208237 9780822208235 23 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/629931.The_Night_of_the_Iguana 3.81 560 5 0 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Mon Nov 10 12:59:47 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 13:26:25 -0800 2008 16549730 366448 629931 0822208237 9780822208235 23 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/629931.The_Night_of_the_Iguana 3.81 560 4 0 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Wed Feb 27 15:45:33 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 27 15:47:37 -0800 2008 8 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=629931
