Publisher Description

Arthur Miller's plays have held the world's stages for almost half a century. Among them are Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, and All My Sons, which have been read and performed countless times across the world. His memoir, Timebends, shows that the life of the man is as compelling as his plays.

With passion, wit, and candour, Miller recalls his childhood in Harlem and Brooklyn in the 1920s and the Depression; his successes and failures in the theatre and in Hollywood; the formation of his political beliefs that, two decades later, brought him into confrontations with the House Committee of Un-American Activities; and his later work on behalf of human rights as the president of PEN International. He writes with astonishing perception and tenderness of Marilyn Monroe, his second wife, as well as the host of famous and infamous that have intersected with his adventurous life. Timebends is Miller's love letter to the 20th century.

"An excellent, but very long, read. What a life! It wasn't always easy for him and Marilyn Monroe wasn't the only interesting person in his life. I read this book for research in college and won't ever forget it. I highly recommend it."

    " While it was fascinating to read how Arthur Miller's mind works, I ended up being disappointed in him. He left out too much and passed over too much for the book to be satisfying. It was long and was hard work to read. I am glad I read it, but am a bit disappointed in it. "
