Arthur Miller, American dramatist, playwright; one the most admired living writers, tells his life story with insight, humor, passsion and candor. He recalls his boyhood in the then fashionable part of Harlem, NY, vividly remembers the depression era and working an auto parts warehouse to earn his tuition to University of Michigan, where during th years of the Spanish Civil War, and the rise of fascism he found his vocation as a playwright. Two decades later, he held his ground before the House of Un-American Activities, and came away victorious. Miller fascinating describes his successes and failures in theater; family and wives. Including for the first time a touching and sympathetic account of his notorious marriage to Marilyn Monroe. He writes colorful portraylals of people, obscure and famouse who have intersected with his adventurous life: Ernie Pyle, Lucky Luciano, Harry Cohn, Spyros Skouras, Elia Kazan, Lee and Paula Strausberg, John Huston, Orson Welles, Lee j. Cobb, Laurence Olivier, Clifford Odets, Lillian Hellman, Tennessee Williams, John Steinbeck, Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Regan, and many others.
