"Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed" – new book about personality of love by Nigel Tomm

May 22, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Nigel Tomm has released new book "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed." It is the third book in Remixed Series where Nigel Tomm continues to explore the phenomenon of literature's remixing.

After "Shakespeare's Sonnets Remixed" and "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed," Nigel Tomm deconstructs "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. In his newest book "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed," Nigel Tomm extends the limits of traditional understanding of text and grammar, uses his own language constructions and stuffs words with narcotizing meanings, where signification is understood as something which points out a non-existence of pure senses. Love here is more than just love. It is something beautiful, something ugly, it is something which exists beyond characters, events or decorations.

Nigel Tomm about his new book "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed" says that "This is a not a book about love. This is the book where love is. My personal, remixed love."

This is the third book published in the Remixed Series, which is intended to develop and expand the phenomenon of literature's remixing. The first book in the series was "Shakespeare's Sonnets Remixed" (2006), from which the phenomenon of literature's remixing has started. In that book Nigel Tomm took the original text of Shakespeare's Sonnets and deconstructed them into modern language and significance, beyond physical recognition with the original text. In the same year (2006) Nigel Tomm published "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed". "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed" is not a drama in the traditional sense. This is a drama that takes place between words and language itself, in which Nigel Tomm deconstructs Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Hamlet here is a mere word, lost in its own and externally imposed meanings that create the action, which starts, continues, and ends in an abstract scene representing life and everything beyond it is reflected in mirrors, green colour, and endless dialogues that are not present, but are substituted by incessant speaking or just text and words, which create and undo themselves in the eyes of the reader.
