Product Description

A reticent personnel manager living with his mother, Mr Newman shares the prejudices of his times and of his neighbours – and neither a Hispanic woman abused outside his window nor the persecution of the Jewish store owner he buys his paper from are any of his business. Until Newman begins wearing glasses, and others begin to mistake him for a Jew.

About the Author
American dramatist Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. In 1938 Miller won awards for his comedy The Grass Still Grows. His major achievement was Death of a Salesman, which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 1949 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. The Crucible was aimed at the widespread congressional investigation of subversive activities in the US; the drama won the 1953 Tony Award. Miller's autobiography, Timebends: A Life was published in 1987.


Customer Reviews

As good as his classic Death of a Salesman5
The book is on a contemporary subject: anti-semitism. When you start to read it, you just can't stop.
