At BigOther, the brilliant Davis Schneiderman interviews the brilliant Andy Devine about Andy's PG book, Words.

Schneiderman: What do your parents think about the book?
Devine: My parents are dead, but the possibilities that are implicit in the book would have been too much for them. I had been holding onto the manuscript for Words for years. I never would have published the book while they were alive.

As an interview special, Words is now on sale for only $8, shipping included.
