简介:
Quentin is a successful lawyer in New York, but inside his headhe is struggling with his own sense of guilt and the shadows of hispast relationships. One of these an ill-fated marriage to thecharming and beautiful Maggie, who went from operating aswitchboard to become a self-destructive star - a singer everyonewanted a piece of. "After the Fall" is often seen as the mostexplicitly autobiographical of Arthur Miller's plays, and Maggie asan unflinching portrait of Miller's ex-wife Marilyn Monroe, onlytwo years after her suicide. But in its psychological acuity anddepth, and its brilliant, dreamlike structure, it is a literary,and not just biographical, masterpiece.
