Far be it from me to be damnfool enough to attempt to copy-edit James Wolcott's prose, but I believe when describing David Mamet's new book and the author's sad descent into Right-wing conspiracy mongering:
...what Mr. Wolcott meant to say was:
Mamet has a book out called The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture, which sounds like a tired rewrite of Allan Bloom twenty years late with some Norman Podhoretz Hamburger Helper, and lazy as hell.

Other than that, no modifications.
Now, Mr, Mamet, will you go to lunch? Go to lunch. WILL you GO to LUNCH?
Don't watch _The Unit_. Don't watch his shit. Boycott these motherfuckers.
ReplyDeleteFuck him.
Wow, just don't let him get his hands on second prize... a set of steak knives.
ReplyDeleteI've known since 1997 when I first saw one of his films that Mamet was a conservative who wants us to go back to a time when caucasian men could do whatever they want without as much as a by your leave or if you please.
