Description

'Endlessly fascinating, emotionally harrowing, and consumingly committed to telling the truth as Miller sees it' Time Quentin is a successful lawyer in New York, but inside his head he is struggling with his own sense of guilt and the shadows of his past relationships. One of these an ill-fated marriage to the charming and beautiful Maggie, who went from operating a switchboard to become a self-destructive star - a singer everyone wanted a piece of. With tremendous psychological acuity and depth, and a brilliant, dreamlike structure, After the Fall is a literary masterpiece - the story of a man striving to comprehend his feelings for his friends, family and the women he has loved.
