Rick McGinnis reviews the new Mamet book

July 26, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

A young writer with conservative leanings – rare as that creature might be – might be encouraged to hear how Mamet’s muse survived abandoning the tenets of liberalism, with its assumption of unearned virtue through sanctioned attitudes and preference for feeling over logic.

Politics are a grimy bear pit, corrosive to dignity and honour, so it’s depressing to see Mamet expend his energy there when he could do so much to influence culture – an arena conservatives tragically abandoned long ago.
