"Talk Radio" deserves all five stars, but the others are three's at best.
different ways to express yourself.
this was at the beginning for me as a playwright. before this book i was familiar with Bogosian from the film "Talk Radio", which i saw when i was around eleven or so. from that moment on Bogosian (who i later discovered shares the same birthday as me) became a MAJOR influence for me (along side George C. Wolfe, Sam Shepard, and David Mamet). this book taught me the essence of truth.
very funny. very very funny. very very very funny.
Part of me feels like the hard bitten, quick talking, speed takin’ kind of monologues in this collection feel dated. Real 80’s New York, coming up on a cigarette smoke choked media apocalypse. You can roll your eyes now. But I really actually enjoy them.
If you like his work, this is... well... "essential", it would seem. I particularly liked reading the script of 'Talk Radio'.
I really only enjoyed Talk Radio. The other three plays were kind of weird.
