I'm trying to get through the falling-in-love-with-Dora section. It's not very compelling, seems to go on for while. I've taken breaks from it by reading the script for "Middleton," by Will Eno, "The Notebook of Trigorin," which is Tennessee Williams' adaptation of Chekhov's "The Sea Gull," and have re-started the Mamet essay book, the name of which is eluding me, and I don't feel like looking for it, so, it'll just be "the Mamet book" for now. Also, I have a bunch of plays to re-read over the long weekend; someone suggested I look for monologues in these ("Conduct of Life," Forness, "Marisol," Riviera, and random selection of Blessing plays.) Dry humor? Dry irony? She knows me well enough.
Should watch some Shakespeare, too, I haven't seen enough. Curious about levels of melodrama, to go, or not go there.
Back to it soon. I actually tried to read more last night, but I just fell asleep. I think there are 400 pages left, he can't go on about her forever.
