About the book

'For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to life. He don't put a bolt to a nut, he don't tell you the law or give you medicine. He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine.'

Willy Loman has been a salesman for 34 years. At 60, he is cast aside, his usefulness now exhausted. With no future to dream about he must face the crushing disappointments of his past. He takes one final brave action, but is he heroic at last?, or a self-deluding fool?

    „A man who can't handle tools is not a man. You’re disgusting.“ Unangenehme Figuren und nervige Dialoge - ich konnte diesem „Meisterwerk“ nicht viel abgewinnen.

    The book is understandable, but also confusing. The main character suffers from hallucinations from his past. For this reason, the book jumps back and forth from past and present

    What an interestingly-told tragedy. I thought this play was good, good enough to scratch the recent itch I've had for plays, but not good enough to highly praise or earn higher than a 3-star rating. Willy is a 60-year-old salesman who has been let go, his usefulness has expired. Adrift, lost, and unsure of what to do next, his mood swings dangerously as tensions with his two sons rise higher. He doesn't realize that his self-sabotaging mindset is, in large part, a factor in his great unhappiness in life.
