| adam_text | Understanding David Mamet analyzes the broad
range of David Mamet s plays and places them in
die context of his whole literary career as a prolific
writer of fiction and nonfiction prose as well as
drama.
Over the past three decades, Mamet has writ¬
ten more than thirty produced plays and garnered
recognition as one
oí
the most significant and influ¬
ential American playwrights of the post-World War
II
generation. In addition to playwriting and direct¬
ing for the theater Mamet also writes, directs, and
produces for film and television and writes essays,
fiction, poetry, and even children s books. The
author remains best known for depicting men in
gritty, competitive work environments and for
his vernacular dialogue (known in the theater as
Mametspeak ), which has raised the expletive to
an art form. In this insightful survey of Mamet s
body of work, Brenda Murphy explores his writing
for die theater and introduces readers to Mamet s
work
im
other literary genres as well as to some
of his neglected pieces.
Murphy centers her discussion around Mamet s
most significant plays—Glengarry Glen Ross,
Ок¬
ата,
American
Buffalo, Speed-the-Plow, The Cryp¬
togram, Sexual Perversity
m
Chicago,
Edmond,
The
Woods, Lakeboat, Boston Marriage, and The Duck
Variations-as well a» his three novels—Tfee Village,
The
OU
Religion, tad Wilson. Murphy also notes
bow Mamet s one-act and tess known plays provide
important context for die major plays and help to
give a fuller sense of die scope of his an. A chapter
on his numerous essays, including his most antholo-
gized piece of writing, die autobiographical essay
The Rake, reflects Mamet s controversial and
evolving ideas about the theater, film, politics, reli¬
gion, and masculinity. Throughout her study Mur¬
phy incorporates references to Mamet s popular
films as useful waypoints for contextualizing his
literary works and understanding his continuing
evolution as a writer for multiple mediums.
BRENDA MURPHY is Board of Trustees Distin¬
guished Professor of English at ate University of
Connecticut. She received her Ph.D. from Brown
University and has published fifteen books, includ¬
ing The Provincetoum Players and the Culture of
Modernity, Tennessee Williams and
