1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. the voice of our timeBy Jason IlgenfritzEric Bogosian is the voice of our time ( a distinction I know he`d not only protest; but also hate).This book contains a lot of his early work - Voices of America; Benefit; Men Inside; FunHouse; Drinking in America; and his opus; Talk Radio. You can watch his technique evolve; refine.Personally; I think it will take a lot to best Talk Radio. Talk Radio is a show that I keep coming back to time and again. This is an old printing. Im not sure this book ISBN printing is available anymore. Id highly recommend buying a copy whether for perusal or performance. Bogosian revels in the truth - sometimes surprisingly soft and pleasant; sometimes like a back-alley tooth extraction without novacaine.He breathes texture and life into these characters; obviously living them while writing them; and shows them to us with all the timidity of a sabre tooth tiger.Presented here is a lot of the early monologue work and the full-cast epic engagement that is Talk Radio.Theres a reason my sons middle name is Eric.Buy it. You wont regret the purchase.And you might find out something about you in the process.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Realistic and funny.By Joshua DillThese plays are great. Bogosian writes a monologue as well as anyone. The characters are real and believable; and the circumstances are rich. Certainly worth reading.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
