desertcart.com: Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama: 9780375704239: Mamet, David: Books

Review: Excellent reads - Excellent stories.
Review: loved it - Erudite and interesting if you wonder why theater is a force in people’s lives . At some level it is also about language and how it moves people in the arts. Mamet’s plays have always seemed to me to be as much about language as opposed to the images they create so it was interesting to see that reflected in his book.

Excellent stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ loved it

Erudite and interesting if you wonder why theater is a force in people’s lives . At some level it is also about language and how it moves people in the arts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finding the path to your true story
*by M***M on November 21, 2013*

A thought-provoking book. Mamet cuts through the drivel of television news and skewers the "information age." Along the way he sheds light on how a story teller, dramatist, playwright or novelist can construct a meaningful drama.
