In his new novel, Mona Acts Out, Mischa Berlinski explores the world of Shakespearean actors in New York City, during a period before and after the #MeToo movement.
The present story takes place on one Thanksgiving Day, while the past story floats in through conversation and rumination, offering different world views on a particular time and place. I recently spoke with Mischa Berlinski about his love of Shakespeare and how the #MeToo movement affected the characters in his novel.
