Pages : 274
Book Description
From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and playwright: an exhilaratingly subversive inside look at Hollywood from a filmmaker who’s always played by his own rules. Who really reads the scripts at the film studios? How is a screenplay like a personals ad? Why are there so many producers listed in movie credits? And what on earth do those producers do anyway? Refreshingly unafraid to offend, Mamet provides hilarious, surprising, and refreshingly forthright answers to these and other questions about every aspect of filmmaking from concept to script to screen. A bracing, no-holds-barred examination of the strange contradictions of Tinseltown, Bambi vs. Godzilla dissects the movies with Mamet’s signature style and wit.

Book Description
"Selim Nassib's sharply observed novel tells a deeply human story that will be of intense interest to anyone concerned about the Middle East, its present conflict and possibilities for its future." "Albert Pharaon, heir to an enormous fortune, son of a rich Palestinian family, bored banker, has a lover in Haifa. And not just any lover: she is Jewish; she is a militant Zionist; she is the young Golda Meir, future Prime Minister of Israel. Love and allegiance clash in this historical novel about one of the twentieth century's central political figures." "Selim Nassib evokes the atmosphere of Palestine in the nineteen-twenties as he mixes history, biography, and legend - creating a bold, fictionalized account of a complex and tumultuous relationship."--BOOK JACKET.
