Review

"Arguably one of the most inventive pieces ever created.”

—Broadway World

Product Description

What if . . .  William Shakespeare had written The Big Lebowski?

 

The Dude has met the Bard—and he doth abide.

Join “The Knave” and Sir Walter on a wild tale of mistaken identity, kidnapping, bowling, and a rug that, in faith, really tied the room together—in a sidesplitting Shakespearean comedy of errors and ninepins, told in five glorious acts of iambic pentameter and impeccable period prose.

Already a theatrical hit and a worldwide viral phenomenon, Two Gentlemen of Lebowski comes alive anew in this definitive and lavishly illustrated edition, featuring recently discovered historical engravings, scholarly annotations, and a revelatory afterword from the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars It tieth the two together, October 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is a seamless knitting together of many of the Bards timeless words and phrases with the oft hilarious and idiotic plot of "The Big Lebowski". Some of the most memorable lines from out of the movie work so well when translated into Elizabethan parlance that it is a wonder that Shakespeare did not, in point of fact, write the script himself. Tis a moste effective parodie if ere twas one worth the name methinks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Knave abides., November 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at a book. I think it has replaced Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal as the funniest thing I've ever read. The prose is fantastic, and the illustrations & accompanying definitions of terms really make it shine. An absolute must-read for any fan of the Dude!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book - a must read for any fan of The Bard and/or The Dude, November 11, 2010

I was lucky enough to read this when it was still an internet sensation. The author has taken the natural synergy (a word I hate using but appropriate in this case) between the works of the Cohen brothers and that of Shakespeare, and made the whole even greater than the sum of the parts.

This is not, as one might expect, a rewrite of "The Big Lebowski" with a lot of silly "prithees" and "thys." The man re-wrote the movie in Shakespearean English, in iambic freakin pentameter. And not only did he do that, but he made some incredibly smart plays on words in the translation. I think this will be studied for years to come. I think it is the Ulysses of its time.

That's right; I said it. Bertocci is the Joyce of our times. And thankfully he is unmarried. Ugh. You know what I mean.

Let me not to the marriage of false impressions deny impediments. I am not Master Lebowski; thou art Master Lebowski. I am the Knave, calld the Knave. Or His Knaveness, or mayhap Knaver, or mayhap El Knaverino, in the manner of the Spaniard, if brevity be not in thy soul nor wit. A Knave by any other name would abide just as well. &quote;
