Book: Three Uses of the Knife by David Mamet

I've read this book three times, which is saying nothing about me because it can be read it in one sitting. My advice to all would-be screenwriters is to toss out McKee's Story and Blake Synder's fill-in-the-blanks and just read this little guy over and over until it is memorized.

And PS, unlike those other books, this one is actually a joy to read. Unsurprising because it was written by a good writer.
