Some Recollections of St. Ives
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.

Praise for this book
PRAISE FOR DAVID MAMET "The finest American writer of his generation." --Sunday Mail "A pure writer, and the synthesis he appears to be making, with echoes from voices as diverse as Beckett, Pinter and Hemingway, is unique and exciting." --Newsweek "Mamet's ear is uncanny. Nobody today has a more flawless gift for reproducing overheard colloquial speech." --Robert Brustein "Mamet deserves recognition for his careful, gorgeous, loving sense of language. He has the most acute ear for dialogue of any American writer since J. D. Salinger." --The Village Voice "Mamet is a true and exciting original . . . a blaze of talent." --WCBS-TV "Pinter. Albee. Miller. They're all looking over Mamet's shoulders." --New York PRAISE FOR SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF ST. IVES "Mamet offers a refreshingly intimate, meditative, and elegiac novel . . . [showcasing] Mamet's skill as a miniature portraitist, sketching people and events with poignant insight and dry wit. Still present is Mamet's nimble facility with language, but here it is in the service of a richly textured, impressionistic diary that is fragmented, elliptical, and spare. . . The whole work bears the indelible marks of Mamet's penetrating character studies, but in a more understated manner."--Booklist
