Today’s video break: My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare
Posted by: Mary
Now there’s a title that will catch the attention of Shakespeareans and slackers alike – and a just $5.95 special deal on iTunes! Jess Winfield, cofounder of the comedy troupe Reduced Shakespeare Company, talks about his debut novel My Name is Will and the process of recording of the audiobook in this video. I love getting these inside peeks inside the audiobook studio, letting me see & hear readers morph between character voices and accents! This one’s on my to-listen list, especially after reading the Booklist review that includes this praise:
In a dual narrative, we follow both Willie Shakespeare Greenberg, a perpetually stoned graduate student, and the young playwright himself… Bawdy puns, a clever construction, and a deliciously irreverent sense of humor make this debut novel irresistible.
