Truro Dune Shacks

See that little speck? It’s one of the famous dune shacks in Truro on Cape Cod; this one, I learned, is where Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire.

These dune shacks have a fascinating artistic history — and also have been the topic of hot debate about notions of ownership and cultural significance.

A quote attributed to Williams: “You said, ‘They’re harmless dreamers and they’re loved by the people.’ ‘What,’ I asked you, ‘is harmless about a dreamer, and what,’ I asked you, ‘is harmless about the love of the people? Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams.”

Happy 4th!
