Dunbar [Hogarth Shakespeare] by Edward St. Aubyn [in Library Journal]

08 May, by SIBookDragon in Adult Readers, Audio, British, Fiction, Nonethnic-specific, Repost

*STARRED REVIEW Narrator Henry Goodman self-righteously sputters, resignedly accepts, viciously plots, frantically searches, and plays especially well the Fool – all in the service of expertly, effortlessly voicing the latest in the Bard-updated-by-famous-contemporary-authors "Hogarth Shakespeare" series.
