''Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama'' is a book by David Mamet that discusses playwriting. In it, Mamet discusses the conscious and unconscious processes that go on in developing a work of art. The essay, dedicated to Michael Feingold (a critic of ''The Village Voice''), is divided in three chapters: "The Wind-Chill Factor", "Second Act Problems", and "Three Uses of the Knife". The book's title stems from a quote from musician Lead Belly, appearing on page 66: *''Huddie Ledbetter, also known as Leadbelly, said: You take a knife, you use it to cut the bread, so you'll have strength to work; you use it to shave, so you'll look nice for your lover; on discovering her with another, you use it to cut out her lying heart.'' Another more significant quote from the book: "The subject of drama is The Lie. At the end of the drama THE TRUTH -- which has been overlooked, disregarded, scorned, and denied -- prevails. And that is how we know the Drama is done."() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three Uses of the Knife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
