The fantasy novel
Silverglass
contains a few Shakespearean elements, which I mentioned in an earlier post.
Silverglass: Mistress Of Ambiguities, a
later book in the series, contains one little nod to
Hamlet. Author J.F. Rivkin (who, it is explained at the end of the
book, is actually two authors) writes: “Nyctasia flushed. ‘More than kin’” (p.
102). Her line is in response to another character’s question: “And who are you
to me? Not kin, I think.” And her response is a nod to Hamlet’s first line, “A
little more than kin and less than kind.”
Silverglass:
Mistress Of Ambiguities was published in 1991.
