Nothing Like the Sun"Wildly inventive" —Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve A magnificent, bawdy telling of Shakespeare’s love life, following young Will’s maturation into sex and writing. A playful romp, it is at the same time a serious look at the forces that midwife art, the effects of time and place, and the ordinariness that is found side by side with the extraordinariness of genius. |
