David Alan Mamet (Chicago, 30 novembre 1947) è un drammaturgo, sceneggiatore, produttore cinematografico, regista e saggista statunitense.

È stato candidato due volte agli Oscar: nel 1983 per la sceneggiatura de Il verdetto, e nel 1998 per la sceneggiatura di Sesso & potere. Nel 1984 ha vinto il Premio Pulitzer, per l'opera teatrale Glengarry Glen Ross, adattato dallo stesso Mamet per il film Americani, diretto da James Foley.

Biografia

Mamet è figlio di genitori ebrei originari della Russia. Suo padre era avvocato, specializzato in diritto del lavoro, e sua madre era un'insegnante. Studiò al Goddard College, nel Vermont. Iniziò la sua carriera come autore teatrale. È uno dei fondatori dell'Atlantic Theater Company. Nel 1976 si fece conoscere grazie a un trio di opere: The Duck Variations, Sexual Perversity in Chicago e American Buffalo edito in Italia dalla casa editrice Sillabe.

Nel 1981 fece il suo debutto nel mondo del cinema, scrivendo la sceneggiatura de Il postino suona sempre due volte, diretto da Bob Rafelson. L'anno successivo ricevette la sua prima candidatura all'Oscar, per la sceneggiatura de Il verdetto, quindi nel 1986 traspose la sua opera teatrale Sexual Perversity in Chicago in un film, A proposito della notte scorsa..., diretto da Edward Zwick. Nel 1987 Mamet scrisse la sceneggiatura di The Untouchables - Gli intoccabili, grande successo diretto da Brian De Palma.

Sempre nel 1987, Mamet debuttò nella regia cinematografica dirigendo il dramma La casa dei giochi, seguito dalla commedia Le cose cambiano, il duro thriller Homicide e altri 12 film. Mamet è inoltre insegnante alla Goddard College, allo Yale Drama School, alla New York University e alla Columbia University.

Vita privata

Mamet è stato sposato dal 1977 al 1990 con l'attrice Lindsay Crouse dalla quale ha avuto due figlie: Willa e Zosia. Nel 1991 si è sposato con l'attrice e cantautrice Rebecca Pidgeon; da questa unione sono nati Clara e Noah[1].

Edizioni italiane

I primi testi di Mamet sono stati proposti in Italia da Luca Barbareschi all'inizio degli anni Ottanta: fu infatti l'attore e regista a portare sulle scene italiane, come interprete e talvolta anche come traduttore, lavori quali American Buffalo, Perversione sessuale a Chicago, Glengarry Glen Ross, Il sermone, Mercanti di bugie, Oleanna, fino a produrre Boston Marriage; quest'ultima opera è stata riproposta nel 2015 dalla compagnia NoveTeatro. Nel giugno 2016 l'editore Sillabe ha pubblicato la versione italiana di Glengarry Glen Ross e American Buffalo, entrambi tradotti da Luca Barbareschi.

Multi-stage initialisation process The Linux booting process involves multiple stages and is in many ways similar to the BSD and other Unix-style boot processes, from which it derives. Although the Linux booting process depends very much on the computer architecture, those architectures share similar stages and software components,[1] including system startup, bootloader execution, loading and startup of a Linux kernel image, and execution of various startup scripts and daemons.[2...
