Summary
Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares scandalous and laugh-out-loud tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he worked with some of the biggest names in movies.
David Mamet went to Hollywood on top—a super successful playwright summoned west in 1980 to write a vehicle for Jack Nicholson. He arrived just in time to meet the luminaries of old Hollywood and revel in the friendship of giants like Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Bob Evans, and Sue Mengers. Over the next forty years, Mamet wrote dozens of scripts, was fired off dozens of movies, and directed eleven himself.
In Everywhere an Oink Oink, he revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artist alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamet’s best theatrical work, this memoir describes a world gone by, some of our most beloved film stars with their hair down, and how it all got washed away by digital media and the woke brigade.

Mamet’s dyspeptic take on the theatre and movies
Entertaining vignettes about the movie making business. His wonderful asides on the theatre have a sardonic tone. Sharp retelling of encounters with the big names working in the industry. A blast!

Absolutely Awful
I can honestly say this is one of the worst books I have ever listened to. He rambles on and on and most of the time I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about. He lurches from one subject to another and there does not seem to be any structure to this book. He keeps stating how his various scripts were rejected and I can’t say I’m surprised.
