“Hilarious. . . . The poetry of Mamet's pugnacity-with all its half notes of contempt, rage, and terror-really swings.” —The New Yorker“A savage farce. . . . Mamet is in contention for the title of America's best living playwright.” —The Guardian (London)“Maniacally funny. . . . It says something about November that its swift conclusion makes you yearn for a little more.” —Associated Press“Breezy. . . . Punch-line-packed.” —USA Today
