Presence : stories
(Book)

Throughout his career as one of the foremost playwrights of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller wrote a remarkable series of highly regarded short stories, pieces that reveal the same profound insight, humanism, and empathy that are the hallmarks of his great dramatic works. Presence is a collection of Millers last published fiction-pieces that originally appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, and elsewhere-and like his previous collections, I Don't Need You Anymore (1967) and Homely Girl, A Life, and Other Stories (1995), it presents an unforgettable series of characters transformed by the ineffable. Displaying the confidence and subtlety of an artist in his autumnal prime, Presence is a gift that all fans of Miller's work, as well as readers of contemporary fiction, will welcome.
