Critic, know thyself

How ironic and amusing that Terrence McNally (author of “The Lisbon Traviata,” about opera queens; “Master Class,” about the most queen-beloved diva of all time, and “La Cage Aux Folles” -- his lyrics -- about drag queens) considers some of Tennessee Williams’ (“Still Smoldering,” May 16) plays “too girly” for him.
