Hawthorne Hacked, Shakespeare Sacked & Thurber Thwacked is a cleverly-organized book that effectively satirizes some of the main works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, of William Shakespeare and of American humorist James Thurber, and the creative compilation is author Jay Dubya's 52nd published hardcover/paperback publication. In the Nathaniel Hawthorne section, Jay Dubya aggressively attacks the early 19th Century writer's famous short stories The Great Stone Face, The Minister's Black Veil, Rappaccini's Daughter, Feathertop, The Three Golden Apples and finally, Dr. Heidegger's Experiment. In the William Shakespeare segment, the renowned English bard's classic plays The Tempest, Macbeth, Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice are rather hilariously clobbered and quite thoroughly corrupted. And finally, in the concluding James Thurber portion, the U.S. author's notorious short stories The Catbird Seat, A Couple of Hamburgers, The Night the Bed Fell, Tales with a Twist, The Dog That Bit People and The Secret Life of Walter Witty are imaginatively rewritten and given entirely new adult-style, bawdy spins.
