This review is from: subUrbia (Paperback)
i prefer bogosian's monologues to his plays. suburbia was good, but i preferred talk radio. a quick enjoyable read. if you are only going to read one of his books read "pounding nails into the floor with my forehead"

SUBURBIA: A Slice of Life from a Rotting Orange,
By Eric Wilkinson (Wilsonville(near Portland),Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: subUrbia (Paperback)
SUBURBIA is the hilarious at times and unsettling at others story of a group of friends who are awaiting the arrival of a high school classmate who is now a rockstar complete with annoying pretentious twit girlfriend in tow. These kids are bitter, hard, and cold, but it's only because they don't feel like they've gotten the best of opportunities. From the ex-military drunkerd, to the goofy pizza guy, to the bitter punk who screams "F--k Oliver Stone,f--k Bill Clinton,f--k O.J. Simpson...",etc.,etc. and calls it an art piece about testosterone, to the girl's boyfriend who's on thin ice, is the most grounded of the group, and seems to be headed nowhere and care about it. Well-written by the crafty Bogosian, this is a representation of every little town in America akin to my town of Wilsonville,Oregon. Sad and poignant.

Wake Up America!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Suburbia: The Screenplay of the Film Written by Eric Bogosian and Directed by Richard Linklater (Paperback)
There are some values that simply can not be measured. In the synopsis of SubUrbia, one can read of the plot in the book. The true power of the book, however, is not in its plot. The power is in the searing criticism of American society. Bogosian masterfully depicts the evils of American society through the actions and the very constitutions of his characters. These characters find themselves aimlessly adrift in the horse latitudes on the way to adulthood. Bogosian's wake up call to America is driven home when the abrupt ending is punctuated with crazed shouts from a foreigner
