Arthur Miller's novelisation of his classic movie, starring Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift
Based on the legendary 1961 movie written by Arthur Miller and directed by John Huston, The Misfits is set around Reno, the "divorce capital of the world". Here meet four lost souls: the beautiful Roslyn, who has never really belonged to anyone or anything - and three other misfits who roam the open land existing on the little money made from riding in rodeos or rounding up wild mustangs to sell as horsemeat. In this powerful and moving story, they find that freedom has its price, and the heart its rules.
"There are explorations of the heart here as good as any written elsewhere by the author...The Misfits retains the economy of language that is characteristic of the drama and screen form...Miller's artistry is present everywhere in the book" New York Times "Miller is not just a good writer, he's a great writer" Evening Standard
