Hawthorne: Hacked, Shakespeare: Sacked & Thurber: Thwacked

Hawthorne Hacked, Shakespeare Sacked & Thurber Thwacked is a cleverly-organized book that effectively satirizes some of the main works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, of William Shakespeare and of American humorist James Thurber, and the creative compilation is author Jay Dubyaas 52nd published hardcover/paperback publication. In the Nathaniel Hawthorne section, Jay Dubya aggressively attacks the early 19^th Century writeras famous short stories aThe Great Stone Face,a aThe Ministeras Black Veil,a aRappaccinias Daughter,a aFeathertop,a aThe Three Golden Applesa and finally, aDr. Heideggeras Experiment.a In the William Shakespeare segment, the renowned English bardas classic plays aThe Tempest,a aMacbeth,a aHamleta and aThe Merchant of Venicea are rather hilariously clobbered and quite thoroughly corrupted. And finally, in the concluding James Thurber portion, the U.S. authoras notorious short stories aThe Catbird Seat,a aA Couple of Hamburgers,a aThe Night the Bed Fell,a aTales with a Twist,a aThe Dog That Bit Peoplea and aThe Secret Life of Walter Wittya are imaginatively rewritten and given entirely new adult-style, bawdy spins.
