unfair and misleading reviews of a great book

Kenji Yoshino's A Thousand Times More Fair: What Shakespeare's Plays Teach Us About Justice is, for anyone who cares about Shakespeare's plays, a great read, a source of insight, and a shared celebration. People who have not yet seen the book but have read Garry Wills' perverse and misleading review in the NYTBR (4/17/2011)or have seen only Andrea Campana's dismissive and misleading letter (5/8/2011) will have no idea of Yoshino's strengths or of his purposes. Here then is a simple challenge: read either the Introduction to Yoshino's book or, say, his chapter on King Lear. Then either ignore Wills and Campana (and read the rest of A Thousand Times More Fair) or test what you have read of Yoshino against their complaints. In my opinion Wills--and the Times--should be embarrassed. It's one thing to disparage a book if you describe it accurately in doing so. It's another to build your thesis on a misrepresentation.
