Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Inge Morath (Author's photograph) (illustrator). [8], 614 pages. Illustrations. Index. Signed by previous owner on fep. The book is signed on the title page by the author, Arthur Miller. The author of All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The Price, The American Clock, and other plays has led an unusually eventful and richly dramatic life. Arthur Miller tells his story and tells it wonderfully, with insight, humor, passion, and candor, displaying throughout the largeness of spirit that has made him one of the most admired writers. Miller describes his successes and failures in the theater, the sources and evolution of his plays and their productions, as well as his relations with his family and three wives. He writes with intimacy and sympathy, of his marriage to Marilyn Monroe, whose drive toward self-destruction nearly carried him to disaster. Arthur Asher Miller (October 17, 1915 - February 10, 2005) was an American playwright and essayist in the 20th-century American theater. He wrote several screenplays and was most noted for his work on The Misfits. The drama Death of a Salesman has been numbered on the short list of finest American plays in the 20th century. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee and was married to Marilyn Monroe. In 1980, Miller received the St. Louis Literary Award from the Saint Louis University Library Associates. He received the Prince of Asturias Award, the Praemium Imperiale prize in 2002 and the Jerusalem Prize in 2003, as well as the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize in 1999. Derived from a Kirkus review: For this rich, remarkable autobiography, playwright Miller has chosen an unpredictable, free-associative format: eight long chapters that jump forward and back in time, mixing major events with anecdotes, famous personalities with curious strangers. This approach works brilliantly, adding irony and resonance. The opening sections are entirely splendid. Miller offers an earthy, droll closeup of his 1920's childhood, part of a nouveau-riche Jewish/immigrant clan in Harlem, prosperity blighted by family deaths and anti-Semitism--with flash forwards to the Millers' 1930's poverty, to a 1970's cab-ride through the old neighborhood. Memories of his 1940 marriage to a Catholic girl lead back into the 1930's--to Miller's Brooklyn friends and relatives who inspired the Willy Loman figure in Death of a Salesman. The opening of his first success, All My Sons, ushers in recollections of a decade of part-time jobs and free-lance writing. There's are impressions of tragic Clifford Odets, a vivid glimpse of director Elia Kazan at work, a dramatic account of the genesis of The Crucible--which had as much to do with sexual guilt as with the McCarthy hearings. Miller writes eloquently about MM's vulnerability, her "terror of abandonment," the collapse of their marriage: There are harrowing accounts of two filmings: The Prince and the Showgirl with Olivier; The Misfits with Huston, Gable, and Miller's script (an intended "gift" of dignity to Marilyn). There are enough details--the barbituate addiction, the creepily possessive Strasbergs--to transfix Marilyn-watchers. And though there are inspiring pages from Miller's efforts to make PEN the "conscience of the world writing community," bitterness dominates the book's final section: persuasive attacks on Norman Mailer, the banker-mentality that doomed the first Lincoln Center Rep, the American demand for "instant culture," the Broadway status quo: sweeping, iffy laments on Western civilization; and responses to criticism of his later plays. A grand, engrossing memoir--warmly illuminating a lifetime of fascinating people and places. First Trade Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
