My Name is Will by Jess Winfield

Fun! Chapters alternate between Willie Shakespeare Greenburg, druggie graduate student in 1980's California, and the William Shakespeare, when he is 18, sleeping around (quite a bit), and is just starting to think about writing and acting. Clever juxtaposition between the two Williams and their lives. The Greenburg chapters were fun, if a bit frustrating when he keeps screwing things up (due to laziness and drugs, and sleeping around). The Shakespeare chapters are excellent historical fiction. While this is not the best book with Shakespeare in it ever, it certainly is worth reading.
