Some recollections of St. Ives The memoirs of Charles Hollis
Book - 2025
"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, this book traces his 40 years within the institution, providing portraits of the people, politics, and parables that shaped both the man and the school. Witty, elegant, and profoundly insightful, the work proves 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"--
