Variations on Shakespeare

       So they're apparently publishing a Hogarth Shakespeare-series -- "Shakespeare's plays reimagined by some of today's bestselling and most celebrated writers". Sort of like Canongate's Myths-series (which seems to have sadly petered out; see also the volumes under review at the complete review).
       In The Telegraph Alex Clark has a Q & A with Jeanette Winterson and Howard Jacobson on retelling Shakespeare's plays -- since they're among the first tackling the exercise.
       I'm not so sure about these -- but have to admit some curiosity about the promised Jo Nesbø-Macbeth.
       Get your copy of Winterson's The Gap of Time -- the first of these volumes to appear -- at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.u.
