Arthur Miller’s non-fiction spans memoir, travel writing, literary criticism, and political commentary. Timebends (1987), his autobiography, is the most substantial work in the category and covers his full life and career with candor. In Russia and Chinese Encounters record his travels to communist countries during the Cold War, while Salesman in Beijing describes his experience directing Death of a Salesman in China.
The Theater Essays of Arthur Miller and Echoes Down the Corridor collect his critical writing about drama and society. On Politics and the Art of Acting, published in 2001, reflects on the intersection of performance and public life. His non-fiction, like his plays, is concerned with how people construct public versions of themselves and what happens when those constructions fail.
