Autor Arthur Milleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 1980 – vârsta de la 18 ani
Often called the most autobiographical of Arthur Miller's plays, After the Fall probes deeply into the psyche of Quentin, a man who ruthlessly revisits his past to explain the catastrophe that is his life. His journey backward takes him through a troubled upbringing, the bitter death of his mother, and a series of failed relationships.

Recenzii
Because After the Fall takes place entirely in Quentin's mind, all of us are privy to his abject self-pity, cynicism and self-reproach. By extension - because he is the mythic Everyman - we, too, are guilty. We've all been kicked out of Eden. We're all branded. But like every biblical hero who harbors the dream of salvation, Quentin is not without hope, even in the midst of the Red Scare. He wants to smash the false idols within himself.
