Odin Teatret
A Life in the Theatre
Theatre in a New Century Ira Nadel, Professor of English, University of British Columbia, Canada

Mamet moves me and makes me jealous like few other writers can; this little jewel of a biography helps me appreciate the man as much as the work. An essential read.' - Neil LaBute, Writer/Director This comprehensive biography uses extensive theater and film archives to reveal Mamet’s ideas on writing, acting, and directing, covering his beginnings in Chicago, his relationship to Judaism and reputation for machismo, as well as discussions of and excerpts from early plays and stories that have never before been referenced in print.

Now Accepting Proposals Publishing across the Humanities, the Social Sciences and Business, palgrave pivot introduces an innovative new format for scholarly research. Designed to liberate scholarship from the straitjacket of traditional formats and business models, palgrave pivot allows us to deliver quality new research rapidly, and at its natural length.
Benefits to authors: Flexibility: Pivot offers the opportunity to publish at lengths between the journal article and the conventional monograph (typically 25 – 50,000 words) Speed: publication of accepted manuscripts within 12 weeks Peer-review: Palgrave Pivot publications are subject to a professional and rigorous peer-review process
Wide dissemination: publications are
available as digital collections for libraries, including via Palgrave Connect, individual ebooks for personal use, and as print editions
‘
This is a bold innovation. Whereas publishing these days is too often belatedly reactive rather than proactive, Palgrave Macmillan has created an exciting new form to occupy the middle ground between a journal article and a monograph that will have significant impact on future work in the Humanities and Social Sciences
’
- Eric Rasmussen, Chair of the Department of English, University of Nevada, USA
