Product Description
Critical and popular debate about Mamet's work often centers on the meanings of his misogynist, unloving character. The essays in this collection approach these controversial topics of gender and genre with verve, ranging from those which cast Mamet as a misogynist to those which understand his work as deeply ironic and even feminist. The contributors examine plays from the early Sexual Perversity in Chicago to the recent Jolly, two films, House of Games and Homicide, and Mamet's first novel, The Village.
