Shakespeare's Premiere of The Merchant of Venice by David Schajer Shakespeare's Premiere of The Merchant of Venice by David Schajer May 03, 2012 $9.99 43007 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
There really is not much to say until about 5 years ago. That is when Shakespeare changed my life. I watched The Merchant of Venice and had an epiphany. Very slowly over the next five years I wrote adaptations of Hamlet, Richard III and Merchant. My epiphany was that Shakespeare did not write his plays to be read. He did not write them for you or me. He wrote them for HIS audience. So, my adaptations take us back in time to Elizabethan London, and put us front and center in that audience to watch these plays as they would have been performed for the first time. And it is how that Elizabethan audience reacts to the plays -- laughing when it is funny, crying when it is sad, and heckling whenever they feel like it -- that gives us, the modern audience, a translation to the play.

To Kill The Void by Dmitry Berger To Kill The Void by Dmitry Berger March 28, 2012 $4.99 9982 words Sample 40%
Author bio:
Dmitry Berger is not really a writer. Come to think of it, he is not much of anything, despite the array of jobs and experience he has had: industrial assembly line worker, farmhand, artist, archaeologist, theatre light man, musician, software architect, soccer coach and player, piano teacher, trophy husband, to list a few. Oh, and he also writes. By and large, he is the closest thing to an ancient Greek philosopher, a Socrates in a winter jacket, if you will, who sits in a marketplace, observes the busy life around him and, if asked, shares his thoughts. Of course, given the nature of his being, Dmitry hardly fits anywhere in the modern world. The fact that he was born in 1963 to a Cossack mother and a Jewish father, in the brand new Ukrainian city of Novaya Kakhovka dubbed by the Soviet government the City of Communism, did not help his case at all. Particularly, when at the age of thirteen, he decided to dedicate himself to finding the truth and the meaning of life and becoming a complete human being. And, after about twenty-two minutes, he indeed found the truth and the meaning of life, and had nothing else left for him to do but remain a human being, albeit a lazy one, somewhat. Inspired by the poetry of Soviet heavyweights Mayakovsky and Vysotsky, he began writing poetry, prose and music, trying to create something unique, different from each other stories and characters, the way Beatles created songs that never sounded the same. Since making ones art sellable did not really matter in the USSR, Dmitry could do whatever he felt like. This wanton neglect of building a recognizable brand bit him in the ass later, when quality of production and attention to detail became vital in his futile attempts to sell himself out. Whereas Socrates was a gadfly to the Athenians, Dmitry Berger is more like a litmus test to the rest of the world. His entire life as well as his art is essentially an experiment designed to make other people challenge their preconceived notions of everything, mostly of themselves. As you can guess, Dmitry does not have many friends or allies. In his first twenty-seven years spent in the USSR, among other accomplishments, Dmitry had failed to publish a few stories, wasn’t able to stage a play, could not form a band or release his songs. Interestingly enough, it was not because of the prevailing ideology, as many claim, although he did openly leave the obligatory Young Communist League just for kicks. As soon as they graciously accepted his manuscripts, the Soviet publishers and directors, just as their American and Canadian counterparts would, suddenly realized they had no idea what to do with them. Dmitry’s writings offered another, slightly skewed point of view on commonly accepted things, while not being overly outrageous or fashionable enough. As an ancient philosopher, comrade Berger did not really care. He was going to Canada. In 1990, he with his wife and daughter sneaked into the suburbs of Ottawa, where he is still firmly stuck, probably for life. Until this day, he continues to expand his raging interest in every bit of what is life: from quantum physics to kinky sex, from the hand of God that helped Maradona break English hearts to American political circus, from the inner workings of our brains to slow roasting back ribs, in order to cram it all into his writings and music. As the years go by, Dmitry Berger is forced to take himself more seriously and, since book publishers and movie producers would not commit, he intends to convert some of his material into radio plays, audio and comic books. Collaborators are always welcome.
