Act I, scene I – Othello

As of this past weekend, I have finished the first half of my current novel (working title: Green-Eyed Monster). The first half being everything that happens in Iago’s life before the play -known-as-Othello begins, I now face the unnerving scenario of novelizing one of Shakespeare’s greatest hits, with a bias.

I am, a confess, a wee bit freaked out by the presumptuousness of this. I have to keep telling myself: “Christopher Moore did it to King Lear, surely I can do it to Othello.”
