The following Jess Winfield titles are NOW AVAILABLE.
Available wherever fine books are sold, from Twelve Books.
A wildly imaginative tale of two eerily parallel William Shakespeares: one, William Shakespeare of Stratford upon Avon in 1582; the other, would-be Shakespeare scholar Willie Shakespeare Greenberg in 1986 California. Both are in serious girl trouble and being pursued by government agents: the Bard by anti Catholic priest-hunters at a time when Catholics were being hung, drawn and quartered; Willie Greenberg by Ronald Reagan's DEA during the War on Drugs.
"Utterly delicious, original, witty, hilarious and brilliant. Shakespeare In Love on magic mushrooms. The Bard has never been this much fun."
-Christopher Buckley, author of Boomsday and Thank You For Smoking
