Book Reviews of All My Sons (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: 'they are all my sons'
Summary: 4 Stars
I have noted in a review of Death of A Salesman that Arthur Miller had a good ear for the foibles and traumas besetting the ordinary people of the old middle class, here upper middle class, put up against the wall in a world that was dramatically changing after World War II. The difference between success and failure is sometimes very close. As we know Willie Loman did not make it. In the final analysis Joe Keller the `hero' of this play does not make it either.
Here Miller gets to take a peek at the strivings, legal and illegal, of a small time capitalist, Keller, who in the afterglow of success via lucrative government war contracts is confronted with exposure and ruin. That his factory's `shoddy' work may have contributed to own his son's death in war and that a co-conspirator in his governmental dealings, his partner, is slated to be the fall guy only add to the moral tension of the drama. Is this Arthur Miller's best drama? No, Death of a Salesman is the one that will stand throughout the ages. Nonetheless this is a thought provoking look at a modern moral dilemma concerning personal responsibility in a maddeningly impersonal world and deserves a read.
