Centrally located with easy access to both the Triangle and the Triad in North Carolina, the community of Hillsborough has a lot of history. The... downtown historic district boasts more than 100 homes, churches, and buildings from the late 18th and 19th centuries, thus earning it a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The building that now houses the visitor center served as General Joseph E. Johnston's headquarters when he surrendered the largest of the Confederate armies to General William T. Sherman at the end of the Civil War.But something other than history has drawn dozens of writers to make this town their home. In 27 Views of Hillsborough, over two dozen authors who currently live here or who have lived here in the past use fiction, essays, and poetry to tell of the community's past and present. Some of the authors whose work is included are Allan Gurganus, Lee Smith, Michael Malone, Randall Kenan, Jill McCorkle, Craig Nova, Barry Jacobs, Peter Wood, Jerry Eidenier, Nancy Goodwin, Hal Crowther, Jaki Shelton Green, and Jeffrey Beam.

The thirteen one-act plays collected in this volume include some of Tennessee Williams's finest and most powerful work.They are full of the perception... of life as it is, and the passion for life as it ought to be, which have made The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire classics of the American theater. Only one of these plays (The Purification) is written in verse, but in all of them the approach to character is by way of poetic revelation. Whether Williams is writing of derelict roomers in a New Orleans boarding house (The Lady of Larkspur Lotion) or the memories of a venerable traveling salesman (The Last of My Solid Gold Watches) or of delinquent children (This Property is Condemned), his insight into human nature is that of the poet. He can compress the basic meaning of life—its pathos or its tragedy, its bravery or the quality of its love—into one small scene or a few moments of dialogue. Mr. Williams's views on the role of the little theater in American culture are contained in a stimulating essay, "Something wild...," which serves as an introduction to this collection.
