Death of a Salesman (Viking Critical Library Edition) Book

A Classic with a big C. I can see why.
It's not a happy story. A story about a troubled family. About getting older and getting cast aside after years of hard work, never having quite made it. About big expectations, never met. Infidelity. About the estranged relationship between father and son. A father, what's he doing? Panicking because he is loosing his job.... loosing his grip on things... on his boys.... hallucinating even?Present and past events or even imagined flow in and out of the story. A tragedy unfolding. Already I think I need to reread it to really grasp the whole story. I was impressed. Although this was not a pleasant read. In the format of a play and of course many famous actors played their part in Death of a Salesman....Death of a Salesman was first presented in a London Theatre on 28 July 1949.

Linda (hearing Willy outside the bedroom, calls with some trepidation): Willy!
Willy: It's allright, I came back.
Linda: Why? What happened (Slight pause). Did something happen Willy?
Willy: No, nothing happened.
Linda: You didn't smash the car, did you?
Willy (with casual irritation): I said nothing happened. Didn't you hear me?
Linda: Don't you feel well?
Willy: I'm tired to death. (The flute has faded away. He sits on the bed beside her, a little numb). I couldn't make it. I just couldn't make it, Linda......
