Posted By nicholas 1 year, 3 months ago in Arts & EntertainmentNPR.org , July 31, 2008 Let's say you've spent a good portion of your adult life distilling Shakespeare's works into brief, bawdy theater skits that riff on the bard, with a few current events thrown in for good measure for measure. What do you do for an encore? If you're Jess Winfield, founding member of the celebrated Reduced Shakespeare Company, you follow it up with a hyperkinetic novel that bookends the bard's life with the story of a reluctant Shakespearean grad student whose half-hearted stabs at coherent scholarship are mostly neither scholarly nor particularly coherent.
