''Rebellious Utah or Tennessee'' (Williams), for example (6)
I believe the answer is:
author
'example' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
''rebellious utah or tennessee' williams' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'utah' is 'auth' which is present in the answer.
'or' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for author that I've seen before include "Producer of written work" , "Writer of a book, say" , "Creative artist" , "Writer of a book or play" , "Pen" .)
