Kenneth Holditch on Tennessee Williams scholars panel

Kenneth Holditch, co-author of  the biography THE WORLD OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, will appear on a scholars panel on Saturday, September 10, from 10:00am – 12:30pm. The panel is part of the Tennessee Williams Tribute week in Columbus, Mississippi . Kenneth Holditch’s presentation is entitled  “‘Help of the Helpless, Oh, Abide with Me’: Tennessee Williams and the Protestant Hymnody.”  The panel is sponsored in part by the Mississippi Humanities Council, The Columbus Cultural Heritage Foundation and MUW’s Center for Women’s Research and Public Policy. The panel is free and open to the public.

THE WORLD OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS and Kenneth Holditch received special recognition in the essay entitled “I Rise in Flames, Cried the Phoenix” in the September-October issue of The Gay & Lesbian Review. The essay and the cover of the issue feature Tennessee Williams. Essayist Andrew Holleran mentions Holditch frequently and says  THE WORLD OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS is “thought provoking”:

To be reminded of the order in which Williams wrote his plays can be startling. So, too, is learning the extent to which he tried things in different forms (short story, one-acts) and kept rewriting, even after a play had been produced.

Kenneth Holditch’s THE WORLD OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS is available in paperback for $14.95 from your favorite online retailer. The World of Tennessee Williams is also available as an ebook for $9.99 on the Kindle, the Nook, and the iPad and iPhone.
