«The Village» is David Mamet's contemporary fiction novel, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Set in a remote New England community, the story unfolds amid dense silences and undercurrents. The village takes on as much prominence as its inhabitants; beneath the apparent calm emerge tensions, secrets, and a dry humor that make it more than just a setting.
It is David Mamet's first novel, known mainly for his theatrical work; the action takes place in the community that gives the book its title.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and for those who follow David Mamet's work as a playwright.
