Book Reviews of Timebends: A Life

Book Review: A long haul very illuminating at times
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very detailed autobiography. I think the very best parts of it relate to the period of Miller's life when he was a young and eager playwright. The whole story of the first stagings of ' Death of a Salesman'is a truly fascinating one. One of the major problems of the work for me however was that Miller could supply tremendous detail and also insight about people without really probing inwardly very deeply . I also believe he held back a lot of punches, a lot of bitter truth in writing about people closest to him.
A great playwright it turns out may be a very good, but not a great autobiographer.
