A Thousand Times More Fair

Celebrated legal scholar Kenji Yoshino's first book, Covering, was acclaimed'from the New York Times Book Reviewto O, The Oprah Magazine to the American Lawyer?for its elegant prose, its good humor, and its brilliant insights into civil rights and discrimination law. Now, in A Thousand Times More Fair, Yoshino turns his attention to the question of what makes a fair and just society, and delves deep into a surprising source to answer it: Shakespeare's greatest plays. Through fresh and insightful readings of Measure for Measure, Titus Andronicus, Othello, and others, he addresses the fundamental questions we ask about our world today and elucidates some of the most troubling issues in contemporary life. Enormously creative, engaging, and provocative, A Thousand Times More Fairis an altogether original book about Shakespeare and the law, and an ideal starting point to explore the nature of a just society'and our own.

Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Early Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at New York University School of Law, is the author of the award-winning memoir Covering. He lives in New York City.
