Requirements: EPUB Reader, 295 kB.
Overview: “Shakespeare [is shown] in his own stirring times. . . . A brilliant book. . . . Taut and forceful.” (Aileen Pippett – Times Literary Supplement [London])
“Implicitly, Burgess is making the case that Shakespeare’s talent had its origin in his sexual drives and that his topless towers of words were founded on his immense desire and will. Fascinated but resistant, I reread the sonnets and found that the novel illuminated them so much as to justify his case. This is to me a measure of Burgess’s talents–that he can remake reality not only in his own writing but also in a new perception of the writings of his subject.” (New York Times Book Review)
“Nothing Like the Sun is a wildly inventive, verbally dazzling attempt to enter the secret chambers of Shakespeare’s inner life. Cunning, alert, and deliciously irresponsible, Burgess brilliantly invents a private history of sexual desire and betrayal lurking behind the blank face that looks out from the First Folio.” (Stephen Greenblatt)
"Nothing Like the Sun" is a magnificent, bawdy telling of Shakespeare’s love life. Starting with the young Will, the novel is a romp that follows Will’s maturation into sex and writing. 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.
