| book description |

From the Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning playwright of Glengarry Glen Ross comes Some Recollections of St. Ives, a masterful novel masquerading as the memoir of Charles Hollisâ€”a fictional man whose life spanned continents and conflicts, culminating in a decades-long tenure at one of Americaâ€™s most storied institutions: The St. Ives School.Â Written in the final years of Hollisâ€™s life, Some Recollections of St. Ives traces his forty years within the institution, providing portraits of the people, politics, and parables that shaped both the man and the school. Within Hollisâ€™s allegorical ruminations, David Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated worldâ€”the St. Ives Schoolâ€”and its place in the wider culture. Witty, elegant, and profoundly insightful, Some Recollections of St. IvesÂ proves once again that Mamet is a master of language and character. Intimate yet expansive, this novel is an astute exploration of tradition and legacyâ€”how we shape them and, in turn, how they shape us.Â
