Christopher Wild as a title is an understatement when it comes to main character, real life Christopher Marlowe, an educated Londoner, son of a shoemaker, who just prior to Shakespeare wrote just 6 plays in blank verse that made him one of England's greatest playwrights. Kathe Koja's blank verse novel in the manner of Marlowe is brilliant. I first came across her work with the novel Skin back in 1993. I still have my first edition. I bought it on a lark because she was a horror writer. I have followed her ever since. Christopher Marlowe himself lived a life of horror, his productions giving audiences what they wanted -- sex and violence -- and the brilliant writer died a violent death at age 29. Shakespeare benefited from Christopher Marlowe by borrowing 4 of his plots to make his own classic plays. Can you guess which ones?
Christopher Wild is in a word, amazing. Well done!
