“As a longtime fan of Merchant Ivory films, I found Solid Ivory a candid and entertaining autobiography. James Ivory’s memoir is refreshingly honest, offering glimpses into his personal life, creative journey, and decades-long partnership with Ismail Merchant. What makes the book especially intriguing is a unique section where Ivory writes essays about the many people he’s met through his career, sharing frank and sometimes surprising views on actors, collaborators, and cultural figures. The memoir’s episodic style gives it a personal, conversational feel, making it a must-read for anyone fascinated by Ivory and the world behind his iconic films.”
“This one took me a while, not because it isn’t good because it is, but because it is so full of information page over page, every sentence a revelation of Ivory’s personal and professional journey; all at once a coming-of-age memoir and an almost diary-like account of a career which is still going strong. Reading Ivory’s warm, intimate and direct recollections left me wanting only one thing: another film from this extraordinary talent.”
