Patrick O’Kelley is a former English professor who’s wandered for a decade in the world of video games, the Internet, and project management. He was also a freelance writer for the Seattle Times, Seattle Weekly, and Amazon.com along the way. After years away from great literature, he is wondering what he’s going to learn about himself when he finally gets intimate with the one writer he never really studied deeply.

He also posts regularly on technology and media at patrickokelley.com.

Shakespeare is the greatest writer in the history of English literature.
