The first work of fiction from Reduced Shakespeare Company co-founder Jess Winfield is a New York Times Book Review "Editor's Choice" and a California Book Awards Finalist that critics are calling "HILARIOUS" and "IRRESISTIBLE!"
The politically charged romp follows the parallel lives of two prodigal young Shakespeares: the 18-year old Bard in 1580s England and would-be Elizabethan scholar Willie Shakespeare Greenberg in 1980s California.
“Hilarious, fascinating... a cunningly witty, frolicsome, time-warping bildungsroman... But serious business underlies the literary larkiness... Winfield's high-spirited tribute is a celebration of the power of language and story through which we learn who we are and who we might be as we strut and fret our hour upon the stage, bit players reaching for the heavens in a drama beyond our grasp.”
LOS ANGELES TIMES
“Happily outrageous... well done, Winfield!"
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Bawdy puns, a clever construction, and a deliciously irreverent sense of humor make this debut novel irresistible."
