Book Buzz: James Franco thanks Shakespeare

James Franco - USA Today

James Franco writes about his love of Shakespeare and Gus Van Sant's indie film My Own Private Idaho, which is loosely based on Henry IV. "Shakespeare created 1,222 characters, and none of them are incidental: all are fully individuated.
