- Synopsis
- From the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright of Glengarry Glen Ross comes Some Recollections of St. Ives, a masterful novel masquerading as the memoir of Charles Hollis—a fictional man whose life spanned continents and conflicts, culminating in a decades-long tenure at one of America&’s most storied institutions: The St. Ives School. Written in the final years of Hollis&’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 Hollis&’s allegorical ruminations, David Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated world—the St. Ives School—and its place in the wider culture.Witty, elegant, and profoundly insightful, Some Recollections of St. Ives proves once again that Mamet is a master of language and character. Intimate yet expansive, this novel is an astute exploration of tradition and legacy—how we shape them and, in turn, how they shape us.
