A review by rachel_smrt
The King of Infinite Space by Lyndsay Faye

I have infinite space for contemporary Shakespeare adaptations! Though Hamlet is tough. The body count! I don't know if this one totally worked for me, though parts of it were great. Lots of philosophizing! Lots of smart college kid late night drunk flirtatious philosophy. Lots of declarations of intense and devastating love that felt a little tell-y instead of show-y. I loved what she did with Ophelia though! Truly inspired rescue of a challenging character.
