And this one is based on The Tempest, which is one of my favorite Shakespearean plays.

Oh.

Oh, good.

That'll be fresh in your mind.

Yes.

So this is the story of a man who is trying to revive a prison theater program.

And he is sort of confronting his past.

There is that same kind of betrayal involved.

Yeah, it's a little, you know, the setting is a prison.

It is Shakespeare's The Tempest.

It is a little grittier, but I think what it could do is it could send you down that path a lot in that Hogarth Shakespeare series were really, really fine novels and written by excellent writers like Margaret Atwood.

But I feel like when people talk about Margaret Atwood, they talk about The Handmaid's Tale, rightly so, you know, some of her other more well-known books.

But I don't hear people talking about Hagseed that often, but I really loved this one.

So all three of those could really send you down a path of a syllabus and Q's legacy, another Shakespeare retelling, grouping, and then, of course, the big tome, a thousand books or however many of those you so choose.

Well, as Anne usually asks our guests, what do you think you'll read next?

Well, good.

I'm so excited to hear that.

Nice.

That could be such a fun trilogy because, again, they're all quite slim.

And so you could probably tuck those in your bag and read this on the airplane if you were so inclined.
