‘November’ - Mamet
New York Times: "David Mamet’s blog promoting his Broadway comedy “November” (at novembertheplay.com) is an intriguing if half-hearted experiment. Written in the voice of the main character, a bumbling president who tries to blackmail and buy his way to re-election, the blog occasionally echoes Mr. Mamet’s 2005 Off Broadway play, “Romance,” a too-late attack on political correctness. But more often it exploits the sitcom rhythms of “November” itself. The president mistily recalls phrases his father used at the dinner table, and writes on the blog: “ ‘Stuffing the ballot box,’ I, of course, associated with Thanksgiving, and ‘voting the dead,’ with Halloween.”"
