Our guest this week is David Mamet, Pulitzer Prize Winner and America's foremost playwright, known for such plays as American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross, and movies such as Oleanna, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and The Untouchables.

He joins us to talk about his masterful new novel, Some Recollections of St. Ives, which poses as a memoir of a teacher at an idyllic private school.

We have a wide-ranging chat about his work in the theatre, the movie business, and his thoughts about modern education and culture.
