Victims on Broadway from the May 26, 2005 issue
To the Editors:
In the first part of my series about Tennessee Williams [“Victims on Broadway,” NYR, May 26], a list of films in which Jessica Lange portrayed mentally unstable Southern women erroneously included the 1982 biopic Frances, about the actress Frances Farmer (who was, in fact, from Seattle). The list should have read as follows: Hush (1998), Blue Sky (1994), and Crimes of the Heart (1986).

Much of the force of Jenny Erpenbeck’s fiction flows from the contrast between the glacial detachment of her tone and the roiling themes of German history that she explores.
