Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares his smart, addictive, hilarious, and insightful (Breitbart) tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he worked with some of the biggest names in movies.David Mamet went to Hollywood on topa 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 artists alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamets 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. The book is illustrated throughout with three-dozen of Mamets pungent cartoons and caricatures. Everywhere an Oink Oink is nothing but wicked jokes, angry broadsides, and pointed gossip: in other words, the ideal Hollywood book (The Wall Street Journal).
