书籍简介
由田纳西·威廉姆斯编剧的颇具争议的好莱坞电影《玩偶》一开场就讲述了阿奇·李十几岁的新娘让他抓狂的故事，因为她直到20岁生日那天才完婚。狡猾的西西里人席尔瓦·瓦卡罗(Silva Vaccaro)是阿奇在棉花生意上的竞争对手，也是这个轻佻的玩偶的竞争对手。书中还包含了一些不言而喻的东西:对一个富有、善于操纵的南方老处女的精彩滑稽研究，对夏天和烟雾的描写，对阿尔玛(一个敏感、未婚牧师的女儿)的性描写，以及她童年的恋人、狂野、肉欲的医生之子约翰。

Enter wily Sicilian Silva Vaccaro, Archie"s rival both in the cotton business and for the affections of the flirtatiou s B aby Doll, and things reach breaking-point. This volume also contains Something Unspoken, a brilliantly comic study of a wealthy, manipulative Southern spinster, and Summer and Smoke, a sexually charged portrayal of Alma, a sensitive, unmarried minister"s daughter, and her childhood love, the wild, sensual doctor"s son John.
