Senor Raul,
When I was in the first flush of the youth very few authors could echo the intensity of the agony that I felt. One author whom I found to be like minded was Tennessee Williams.My God he could write some very sad tales. i remember once, many years back, when I was working in a hotel and there was a city wide strike. There were no buses or trains to go around so all the workers were well nigh prisoners in the hotel that day, meaning they could not leave even after their shifts got over.
The owners of the hotel of course loved it and gave the workers more tasks to perform. After my shift got over, they were thinking, I too would stay back ,but no ,oh not not me, I took my bag(which was full of books and magazines) and went on foot for a while, the streets were completely deserted and I was alone, I liked it that way.
Well, I came across a bench and I sat on it,took out a book. It was in that period that I was reading Williams(Circa 2005). He could write some very sad tales, believe you me.
Street Car called Desire. Well, that's pretty sad. The nice woman ends up going to a mental hospital.
But I am quite sure he wrote some tales which were ever more poignant though i have mostly forgotten them.
Anyway, just wanted to share.
Take care.
