100 : (monologues)

"Mr. Bogosian has crossed the line that separates an exciting artist from a cultural hero. What Lenny Bruce was to the 1950s, Bob Dylan to the 1960s, Woody Allen to the 1970s—that's what Eric Bogosian is to this frightening moment of drift... I know of no one else like him in pop culture right now." - Frank Rich, __New York Times__ __100 (monologues)__ collects all of Eric Bogosian's monologues, originally performed as part of his six off-Broadway solo shows, including __Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll__; __Pounding Nails in the Floor with my Forehead__; __Wake Up and Smell the Coffee__; __Drinking in America__; __Funhouse__; __Men Inside__ and selections from his play __Talk Radio__.
