Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner

Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner

SHAKESPEARE SHAPIRO HAS ALWAYS hated his name. His parents bestowed it on him as some kind of sick joke when he was born, and his life has gone downhill from there, one embarrassing incident after another. Entering his senior year of high school, Shakespeare has never had a girlfriend, his younger brother is cooler than he is, and his best friend's favorite topic of conversation is his bowel movements.

But Shakespeare will have the last laugh. He is chronicling every mortifying detail in his memoir, the writing project each senior at Shakespeare's high school must complete. And he is doing it brilliantly. And, just maybe, a prize-winning memoir will bring him respect, admiration, and a girlfriend . . . or at least a prom date.

From the Hardcover edition.

After graduating from high school, Jake Wizner's life took a big turn for the better. He now teaches eighth-grade English and history in New York City with his wife and two daughters. His debut novel is Spanking Shakespeare. Visit Jake's website at www.jakewizner.com to discover more about him.
