Book Overview

by James Ijames (Author)

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames reinvents Shakespeare's masterpiece with his new drama a delectable comic tragedy. Juicy is a queer

Southern college kid already grappling with some serious questions of identity when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard demanding

that Juicy avenge his murder. It feels like a familiar story to Juicy well-versed in Hamlet's woes. What's different is Juicy himself a sensitive and selfaware young Black man trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue emerges a compelling examination of love and loss pain and joy.
