Summary: Beautiful and Harrowing
Review: Unfortunately, I haven't the time for the fully thought out review that this book deserves. I can say that the book is deeply affecting, and once you start reading you won't be able to stop. You will, however, need to hang on tightly, because you are in for one wild ride ("Hamlet's Dresser" is in many respects a lot like Frank Conroy's "Stop Time", which is to say beautiful, harrowing, and compulsively readable). I have read both "Me and Shakespeare" by Herman Gollob and "Hamlet's Dresser". I recommend both, but "Hamlet's Dresser" is by far the better book. It never ceases to amaze me how Shakespeare continues to scramble our circuitry after 400 years. He may not have invented all of what it means to be human, but he certainly invented part of us.

Summary: Though justice be thy plea, consider this.
Review: Yes painful, moving and sad. But redeeming as well. To have suffered so much; but not given up. And so so lonely. At least Bill has the ability to live through Shakespeare, otherwise he would not have lived at all. For
"The sweetest sleep and fairest-boding dreams
That ever enter'd in a drowsy head"
Read it!
