A WHORE'S PROFESSION: A Whole Lot of Book

...The book is essentially a collection of notes and essays combining several of his earlier books into one volume. WRITING IN RESTAURANTS, SOME FREAKS, ON DIRECTING FILM, and THE CABIN are represented in their entirety.As always with Mamet, you get his opinions loudly, clearly, and entertainingly. He is a very percise writer and often nostalgiac, often humourous. His observations on Life in the Theatre are world-weary and wise. Whether you agree with him or not (and I often don't) you have to admit that the man is not ever afraid to speak his mind, and moreover, back up his thoughts.If it makes it's way back into print, A WHORE'S PROFESSION is an excellent addition to any Mamet fan's library.
