Writing in Restaurants; Exuvial Magic; Life in the Theater - Softcover

 
9780140089813: Writing in Restaurants; Exuvial Magic; Life in the Theater

Synopsis

Temporarily putting aside his role as playwright, director, and screen-writer, David Mamet digs deep and delivers thirty outrageously diverse vignettes. On subjects ranging from the vanishing American pool hall, family vacations, and the art of being a bitch, to the role of today's actor, his celebrated contemporaries and predecessors, and his undying commitment to the theater, David Mamet's concise style, lean dialogue, and gut-wrenching honesty give us a unique view of the world as he sees it.

Review

"Essays in direct line from Stanislavsky, Chekhov, Shaw, and Brecht"
--Mike Nichols

--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Passion, clarity, commitment, intelligence--just what one would expect from Mamet"
--Sidney Lumet

"Graceful, forceful, hortatory essays of a profoundly moral writer of our time"
--Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune
