Questions about Arthur Miller
A bit of gossip:
Miller's high school grades were so bad that he couldn't get into college, and he went to work in an auto-parts warehouse. One day he picked up a book called The Brothers Karamazov, which he thought was a detective story. Later he called it 'a great book of wonder'; he decided when he finished it that he would become a writer, and he talked his way into the University of Michigan. He won a contest there with a play he wrote in six days, and he knew writing plays was what he was meant to do.
