by Mel Gussow (Author)
Mel Gussow first met Arthur Miller in 1963 on day one of rehearsals for After the Fall , Miller's play about Marilyn Monroe. They then met regularly over the following decades, most recently in March 2001. This book records over a dozen of their conversations, charting Miller's development over the past 40 years as well as plunging back into his earlier life and work. From the personal to the political, Miller is astonishingly candid throughout - even about his relationship with Monroe. The result is a self-portrait of a giant of the theatre who is both a regular guy and a fiercely original writer and thinker.
