|  | Cryptogram & Other Plays by David Mamet
In The Cryptogram, a man and his divorcee friend talk while the woman's insomniac son tries repeatedly to get them to help him fall asleep. The tension between the adults and the boy builds throughout the play until it seems adulthood and childhood are alien worlds. This play was first produced at Ambassador's Theatre, London, in June 1994 with comedian Eddie Izzard playing the role of the man. AUTHOR: David Mamet

 | Moby Dick by Alex Nino, Alfred Kazin, Allan Drummond, Barry Moser, Bernice Selden
In this wondrous picture-book adaptation of the sprawling classic, Allan Drummond pays homage to one of the greatest sea stories ever told. Staying as true to Herman Melville's language as possible, and taking Ishmael as his narrator, Drummond tells of the adventure of Captain Ahab's relentless quest for revenge, as he leads the crew of the whaling ship Pequod on a voyage around the world in search of the mysterious and gigantic white whale Moby Dick, to whom he lost his leg. With action-packed and intricately detailed pictures that invite close and repeated inspection, Drummond gives a fascinating primer of whaling and the seafaring life for readers of all ages.
