Vintage trade paperback in very good condition.  Some wear and tanning to wraps.  Reads good as new; clean unmarked pages with some inevitable tanning. 

Arthur Miller explores the intersection between one man's self-delusion and the brutal trajectory of fate.  A vivid, crackling, idiomatic psychosexual horror tale.

Eddie Carbone is a Brooklyn longshoreman, a hard-working man whose life has been soothingly predictable. He hasn't counted on the arrival of two of his wife's relatives, illegal immigrants from Italy; nor has he recognized his true feelings for his beautiful niece, Catherine. And in due course, what Eddie doesn't know—about her, about life, about his own heart—will have devastating consequences.
