... American Buffalo
It would seem that in America Buffalo, David Mamet wrote about exactly
that which he knew best; the colorful and diverse middle class of America. ... Described thereafter are Mamet’s many
artistic and working class endeavors until his eventual establishment as a celebrated
playwright with the release of American Buffalo in 1977. ...
It could be perceived that in his play American Buffalo, David Mamet
uses the symbol of a rare American coin and draws parallels between the coin and the
characters in the play. Much like the coin, the characters are somewhat tarnished by their
environment and their exposure to it, yet still maintain a genuine value as an insight into
American history. ...
The American Buffalo nickel made its debut in the ceremonies at the
National Memorial to the North American Indian at Fort Wadsworth, New York on
March 4, 1913.
