Synopsis
Sidewise Award winning and Hugo, Nebula and Sturgeon Award nominated short story.
Alternate history story of William Shakespeare. While drunk in Portsmouth after putting on a show, Shakespeare becomes a stowaway on the wrong boat back to London -- and instead winds up in America, where he is eventually captured by Native Americans. The story's narrator, a sixteenth-century Cherokee, tells how his tribe adopted an English colonist named Spear-Shaker, and describes the cultural clash which occurs when the white man tries to put on a play and the tribe does not understand what he is trying to do.
