A gift book to savour.
Let the Bard into your lounge and have him whip up some sharp cocktails and soothing snacks for the comedy or tragedy in your life. From ‘Get Thee to a Winery: girls’ night out’ to ‘Exit, Pursued by a Beer: drowning your sorrows’, this stage-sensitive, merrily blended book brings a Shakespearean swirl to life’s everyday highs and lows. Readers who downed Tequila Mockingbird and felt the force of William Shakespeare’s Star Wars will thrill to its intoxicating mix of literary nerdery and cheeky wordplay.
Caroline Bicks and Michelle Ephraim are eminent English professors and eminent merry punsters. While poking a little fond fun at the man who gave them their careers, they dish up a delightful high-low mash of food, drink, and drama. Shakespeare, Not Stirred pops all the corks. Remember, with Falstaff: ‘thin drink doth so over-cool their blood…’
Caroline Bicks is Associate Professor of English at Boston College and is also on the faculty of the Bread Loaf School of English. She specialises in Shakespeare, gender studies, and the history of science. Her book, Midwiving Subjects in Shakespeare’s England, will make you grateful to be living in a world with epidurals. Her creative nonfiction has appeared on NPR, and in the New York Times, and in the show and book Afterbirth: Stories You Won’t Read in a Parenting Magazine. She and Michelle have blogged at Everyday Shakespeare for years, and together they’ve written Bard Meets Life for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency and Errant Parent. She loves a good drink, a good laugh, her husband, and their two kids. Not necessarily in that order. Michelle Ephraim is Associate Professor of English at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where she teaches courses on Shakespeare, early modern drama, and creative writing. She’s the author of the book Reading the Jewish Woman on the Elizabethan Stage and articles on adultery, religious conversion, and other controversial matters in Shakespeare’s plays. Her personal essays and humour pieces have appeared in Tikkun, Lilith, The Morning News, Word Riot, and the Washington Post. She lives in Boston with her husband and three children. She’ll tell you more over a cocktail and some salty snacks.
