Arthur Miller's masterpiece, this semi-autobiographical work takes Miller's life and makes it so brutally realistic and devastating that after I finished reading I had to just sit there for a while in awe of his writing. Makes every other realistic fiction author look like an amateur. The Nazi sympathies are interesting from a jewish playwright though.

Takes a while to get going but when you get past all the small talk and confusion you find two people conflicted beyond belief and struggling just as much as the reader.
