Writing in Restaurants - David Mamet

"Writing in Restaurants" is a collection of essays and prose by David Mamet, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director. In this book, Mamet steps away from his usual roles and offers thirty diverse vignettes on a variety of subjects. These essays cover topics ranging from the vanishing American pool hall, family vacations, and the art of being a "bit*ch," to the role of today's actor, his celebrated contemporaries and predecessors, and his undying commitment to the theater. Mamet's signature concise style, lean dialogue, and gut-wrenching honesty provide a unique perspective on the world as he sees it. It's a fascinating read for anyone interested in contemporary American theater and Mamet's sharp, insightful observations. Soft Cover. Approx 5 x 8 inches. Small tear on bottom of cover and slightly curled bottom right corner.
