In ?The Performance,? a Jewish tap dancer enthralls Hitler. ?The Bare Manuscript? reveals a writer?s unusual methods to revive his muse, and, finally, ?The Turpentine Still? presents a portrait of a man examining his legacy. Displaying the sureness of an artist in his autumnal prime, Presence is a gift that all fans of Miller?s work, as well as readers of contemporary fiction, will welcome.
