Richards Leads Discussion for 75th Anniversary of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’

November 8, 2022 by Brenta Blevins

Portrait of Professor Gary Richards.To mark the 75th anniversary of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire, Gary Richards led the discussion of that play in the One Book, One Festival series at the Louisiana Book Festival on Saturday, October 29, 2022, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This was his tenth time to participate in that series at the festival, having also led the programs on Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men, John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces, Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, Truman Capote’s “A Christmas Memory,” and Ernest Gaines’s A Gathering of Old Men, among others. His appearance was made possible in part by a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
