of looking at things from the wrong end of the telescope. so it's only natural that germaine greer has brushed off william shakespeare and chosen to write a biography about his wife, anne hathaway, instead. (a subject which is of no interest to anybody.)
i won't be wasting my time reading it. but hopefully it's full of details about anne's frustrations at being taken for granted, her efforts to get their 3 girls into good schools, and her attempts to get william to do more around the house.
for an encore maybe greer's next book will be about emily dickinson's cat or collette's milkman.

Some people will write anything to make a buck. Seems like this will just be an overpriced National Enquirer edition-ish focused on one person.
Found a review here and my favourite part was "So many sentences begin with the word 'if' that the book ends by seeming distinctly iffy."
Then again...I don't think I ever knew Shakespeare's wife's name. Now I know.
