| book description |

From the acclaimed playwright and author of Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo comes Some Recollections of St. Ives, a masterful novel that masquerades as a memoir of the fictional Charles Hollis, a man whose life spanned continents, conflicts, and a decades-long career at one of Americaâ€™s most storied institutionsâ€”the St. Ives School. Written in the final years of Hollisâ€™s life, Some Recollections of St. Ives offers a candid yet poignant reflection on his forty years at the school. Through the allegorical tales woven into Hollisâ€™s recollections, Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated institution and, by extension, society as a whole. Once again, Mamet proves himself a master of language, balancing historyâ€™s weight on our culture with profound emotional depth. With wit and keen insight, he explores the complexities of human nature and the undercurrents of an American institution.
