Look out for a new book from Garry Wills, What the Qur''an Meant, coming fall 2017.

"Riveting . . . a double-barreled salvo that hits two bull''s-eyes." —The New York Times Book Review

This dazzling study of the three operas that Giuseppe Verdi adapted from Shakespeare''s plays takes readers on a wonderfully engaging journey through opera, music, literature, history, and the nature of genius. Verdi''s Shakespeare explores the writing and staging of Macbetto (Macbeth), Otello (Othello), and Falstaff, operas by Verdi, an Italian composer who could not read a word of English but who adored Shakespeare. Delving into the fast-paced worlds of these men and the hands-on life of the stage that at once challenged them and gave flight to their brilliance, Wills, in his inimitable way, illuminates the birth of artistic creation.
