Romance | David Mamet
5 posts | 1 read
Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright David Mamets Romance is an uproarious, take-no-prisoners courtroom comedy that gleefully lampoons everyone from lawyers and judges, to Arabs and Jews, to gays and chiropractors. Its hay fever season, and in a courtroom a judge is popping antihistamines. He listens to the testimony of a Jewish chiropractor, whos a liar, according to his anti-Semitic defense attorney. The prosecutor, a homosexual, is having a domestic squabble with his lover, who shows up in court in a leopard-print thong. And all the while, a Middle East peace conference is taking place. Masterfully wielding the argot of the courtroom, David Mamet creates a world in microcosm in which shameless fawning, petty prejudices, and sheer caprice hold sway, and the noble apparatus of law and order degenerates into riotous profanity. From the Trade Paperback edition.

ElizaMarie Didn't read the book this month (I am not a romance-y person) but... I guess if I am doing a romance I think I would like the enemies or love triangle :) 3y

Butterfinger The Philadelphia Story with Jimmy Stewart, Katherine Hepburn, and Cary Grant. "A magnificence that comes out of your eyes, in your voice, in the way you stand there, in the way you walk. You're lit from within, Tracy. You have fires banked down in you, hearth-fires and holocausts." 3y
Butterfinger I always tell my students, when one of them invent the time machine, I will go to Boston on the night of the Tea Party. 3y
ElizaMarie @Butterfinger - Ooo to be there during the Tea Party would be super interesting! And that quote.. wow! 3y

Butterfinger I haven't watched tv or movies in so long. Jimmy Stewart, of course. Brendan Fraser. Even though, I am too old, can I say Zac Efron. He's so pretty. 3y

Butterfinger I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife. No family plans. Just church and baskets. 3y
jb72 I may read our secondary book this month if I can get it from the library. 3y
ElizaMarie I‘m opting out of this months book. They didn‘t really speak to me :( 3y
AsYouWish @ElizaMarie Me too. In the small amount of research I did on the books, I felt it better for my mental health if I skipped the books this month. 3y
mollyrotondo I am also reading The Time Traveler‘s Wife. I was able to see my brother and sister-in-law and mom for Easter. We had brunch at my brother‘s house. 3y
