It takes apart race as a construct, and deconstructs the deconstructionists. To the root of their thinking.Root?  "Roots?"

    Blistering play that creeps up on you till the last line
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2012*

Somehow Mamet seems to often capture the zeitgeist of what's happening in American society.  The firestorm of political correctness and the Clarence Thomas hearings spawned his earlier play Oleanna and now, in the wake of the Treyvon Martin shooting, reading Race becomes an incendiary experience.  What appears to be a comic portrayal of lawyers scheming to get an apparently guilty man off a heinous charge of raping a black woman becomes a swirling cauldron of a barely suppressed race war played out in Mamet's typically profane and witty language.  The male lawyers apparently in charge of the case discover that they had no idea what was really at stake when they took it on until the very last line of the play.  Thought-provoking and a fast, memorable read.

    Good play, bad "book"
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2011*

The play is pretty good. Not the best, but still a good piece of work. However, the book is overpriced and filled -- and I mean filled -- with what appear to be printing errors. Countless sentences are littered with periods throughout. I mean in mid sentence. There is no discernible effect here. Mamet cannot possible write like that. I mean, what dramatic purpose would be served by this:"You look at a man, across a room, you know. What his intentions are."Or"We cannot put. Enough white people. On the jury. To find one who is not afraid. Of being thought prejudiced. By letting him off, on your theory."I'm familiar with "Mamet-speak," but is this Mamet-punctuation?Also, a 64-page play at $13.95, the price of a trade paperback novel? Most plays are under $10.
