Lakeboat ( 2000 )

Coming-of-age tale set aboard a shipping freighter traveling America´s Great Lakes. Creating a memoir of his own experiences, writer and Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross, American Buffalo) tells the story of Dale, an Ivy League college student who briefly joins a world-weary crew.

Exposed to a seafaring lifestyle which falls short of his literary visions, Dale instead finds the experience rich in unexpected ways. The men´s bravado and comical posturing gives way as their lively story-telling reveals more about their mythologized view of life than about what actually may have happened.
