Title: Fun, if a Little Thin
Product review: A quick and fun novel. William Marlowe is a professor of Shakespeare at Columbia University, with a wife named Anne and a couple of kids. While immersed in a seminar on the sonnets, he meets a Dark Lady and a handsome and pale young man. Hijinks follow in New York City. Readers of Shakespeare will recognize the parallels with Shakespeare's own life. Professor Marlowe unselfconsciously, in both senses, follows the trajectory of the narrative of the sonnets. It is a fun read, perhaps a bit thin and brief, but well-written.
