The Strand Magazine Mines Tennessee Williams Treasure

Scholar believes playwright wrote "The Eye That Saw Death" while in high school.

StrandMagazineSpring2015CoverIt should be a very good spring for The Strand Magazine. The literary quarterly’s latest issue contains a never-before-published 4,800-word story by Tennessee Williams titled “The Eye That Saw Death.”

It’s the ghoulish tale of a man who, at age 30, suffers through increasingly harrowing visions after receiving an eye transplant. From a report by the AP’s Hillel Italie:
