Timebends: A Life
Miller doesn't just give you the story of his life, he gives you the story of the twentieth century. I felt I received quite the education: American theatre, television, cinema, and culture; European revolutions and dictatorships; The Great Depression; and two world wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Every other page I was pausing to either refresh my memory or to completely educate myself. Google and Wikipedia are my friends. That way I was able to come back and have a deeper understanding of what he was painstakingly trying to communicate.
In the end I'm happy to have spent months with this book. I felt a bit like I was listening to the grandfather I never had telling me stories of the way things used to be.

The second volume in the definitive biography of the acclaimed playwright
Christopher Bigsby's masterful two-volume biography of Arthur Miller sheds new light on one of the twentieth century's most acclaimed literary figures. Plays such as Death of a Salesman, A View from the Bridge, and The Crucible brought Miller an international following, and events such as his refusal to provide information to the House Un-American Activities Committee and his marriage to Marilyn Monroe kept him in the public eye. The second half of his life, the focus of this volume, proved no less fascinating. In , Monroe died, and he married photographer Inge Morath, a relationship that transformed him as a writer and as a person. His activism in support of political and social causes only increased during the period, including criticism of U.S. foreign policy in Vietnam and contemporary conflicts in the Middle East. In this period of his life, he also became renowned for his work in support of dissident writers in Russia, Czechoslovakia, China, and elsewhere.
