This new collection brings together the very best of his acerbic writing. In keeping with Miller’s grasshopper mind, \u003ci\u003eOne Thing and Anothe\u003c\/i\u003er leaps from discussions of human behaviour, atheism, satire, cinema and television, to analyses of the work of M. R. James, Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens and Truman Capote, by way of reflections on directing Shakespeare, Chekhov, Olivier and opera. A celebrated conversationalist, the book also features a selection of key interviews focusing on his working method.
