Shakespeare saved my life : ten years in solitary with the Bard / Laura Bates. Naperville, Ill. : Sourcebooks, 2013. x, 291 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. "A memoir"--Cover. Includes a "Reading Group Guide" (p. [289]-291). Just as Larry Newton, one of the most notorious inmates at Indiana Federal Prison, was trying to break out of jail, Dr. Laura Bates was trying to break in. Now, a decade later, her Shakespeare in Shackles program has been lauded by academics and prison communities alike. In this profound illustration of the enduring lessons of Shakespeare through the ten-year relationship of Bates and Newton, an amazing testament to the power of literature emerges. But it's not just the prisoners who are transformed. It is a starkly engaging tale, one that will be embraced by anyone who has ever been changed by a book. 20151023. Bates, Laura. Newton, Larry.
