Death of a Salesman – Arthur Miller – Penguin Books – 1964 – Blanda

**Death of a Salesman**: Death of a Salesman was written in six weeks in the spring of 1948, but it had been brewing in Miller's for ten years. Its 742 performances put it among the 50 longest recorded Broadway runs; it received the Pulitzer Prise for Theatre and was later filmed. Miller himself defined his aim in the play as being to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life.
