Overview
(Applause Books). Conversations with Miller offers a personal and revealing account of one of the major playwrights of our time. Arthur Miller is revealed in deep and candid conversation with the highly regarded dramatic critic, Mel Gussow. In this series of interviews, which took place over 40 years, Miller is astonishingly forthcoming about his creative sources, his accomplishments and his disappointment; about his staunch resistance to the McCarthy witch hunts of the 1950's; about his private life including his five-year marriage to Marilyn Monroe. The result is an intimate portrait of a cultural giant who is both refreshingly down to earth and a fiercely original writer and thinker.
Synopsis
Gussow, a cultural writer for The New York Times begins with an introduction describing his relationship with playwright Arthur Miller and then presents a conversation they had in 2001, before reversing the chronology and starting again with their first meeting, October 1963. In all he presents 12 lively, always thoughtful conversations and caps the book with a brief afterword. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
