Writing in Restaurants (1986)


Writing in Restaurants PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR DAVID MAMET OFFERS HIS INSIGHTS, PHILOSOPHIES, AND OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE, THEATER, AND HIMSELF.

Temporarily putting aside his role as playwright, director, and screenwriter, David Mamet digs deep and delivers thrity 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 actors, his celebrated contemporaries and predecessors, and his undying commitment to the theater, David Mamet's concise style, lean dialogue, and gut-wrentching honesty give us a unique view of the world as he sees it.

"Writing in Restaurants is rich with anecdotes... composed in precise mellifluous language." - 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
