Book Overview

Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.A day of conflict and tragedy. Cassie Logan and her brothers watch as the weekly bus from Jackson comes splashing through a heavy rainstorm--they are there to see their grandmother off on a trip. One by one, the passengers board the bus. But this is Mississippi in the 1930s, so when several white passengers arrive at the last minute, the driver roughly orders the black passengers off the bus, including Cassie's grandmother. Then, disaster strikes in the rain, and the children witness a shocking end to the day's drama. "Taylor, a powerful storyteller, again combines authentic incidents to create a taut plot...Her cry for justice always rings true."--Kirkus Reviews This description may be from another edition of this product.

Perhaps I'm biased...

Yes, perhaps I'm biased, because I was in this play at my university and so the characters were all too real for me because my friends were playing them, but I really loved this story. The symbolism is just great and there's a lot of food for thought. Many people who came to see our production didn't understand the work, and I must admit, it is obscure and fairly difficult to understand. Don't let that get in your way...

Abstract; symbolic; unlike any of Williams' other plays

Anyone expecting Camino Real to be anything like the other plays Tennessee Williams wrote during the same period, such as Summer and Smoke or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, will be puzzled. This is unlike anything else Williams wrote; it's nonlinear, overtly symbolic, lacking a conventional plot, and filled with images that don't make literal sense even as they speak directly to the subconscious. I think it could be Williams' most...

Intriguing...

A truly bizarre plot line with equally bizarre settings and character developements. I read this play without completely understanding it (ok, in truth I didn't get it at all), but I think that it deserves further examination.
