He became the famous writer's confidant, took copious notes of their conversations, and - encouraged by Williams who died the year after they met - went on to interview many of the great actresses who had worked with the master dramatist about their impressions of him and the impact of his work. Grissom then compiled their insights about one of the most gifted and complex American playwrights into his wonderful book, Follies Of God - Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog, now published by Alfred A. Knopf.
