Shakespeare Reference in Day After Night

Anita Diamant’s Day After Night contains a Shakespeare reference, though not in the story itself. At the end of the book, there is a brief interview with Anita Diamant, and in that interview she is asked which book most influenced her life. She answers Virginia Woolf’s A Room Of One’s Own, and in her answer says, “In one passage, Woolf ponders the lives of the flesh-and-blood women who were Shakespeare’s contemporaries” (p. 306).

Day After Night was published in 2009. The First Scribner trade paperback was published in 2010.
