July 2023

 

 

… full of sound and fury... That will be my next tattoo. What do you think?

 

I repeat what I have repeated for far too long:

‘O war! thou son of hell’ O Putin! Thou son of hell! Our thoughts and support are still needed to the people of Ukraine, and the people of Russian who hate this war. Protest in any way you can! And don’t give up hope. ‘True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.

In this time of turmoil and hope I give you this familiar promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book. Indie authors like me always need support, even now when book signings and lectures can again be scheduled. Only on the Internet can I reach people like you, who are interested in Shakespeare would like to support the Shakespeare Calling project. I do so hope you will help me by ordering the book online. Any sales I make of this book will go directly to Doctors without Borders for their work in Ukraine as long as the war lasts. Just let me know and I’ll send the money forthwith. You can also order directly from me. Just write me an email. Thank you.

Anyone from Ukraine – send me an email and I will send you the book free of charge.

Shakespeare sightings:

  • In the film Birdman a guy on the street is reciting the ‘Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow’ monolog.
  • In Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Bluebeard, the narrator’s father knew Shakespeare’s plays by heart in Armenian and recommended among the ten books that must be read Tales from Shakespeare. The Armenian president of the University of Chicago was a renowned Shakespearean. And that’s only in the book’s first half. There may be more to come.
  • In the film The Wolfman the main character is a Shakespearian actor. This does not save the film.
