Landi Quotes

• Max [Landis] writes in quite a heightened way, specifically for Dirk. There's a rhythm and a specific speed to it, and it was very easy to learn because it was so well-written. It just rolled off the tongue. There aren't many auditions that I go for, where I feel like I could actually do the part. But with this one, even though I was not quite sure how to pin Dirk down, I thought I could do it.

• [Judge and Jury] is outstanding. I have
  learned more about the history of
  baseball, true history, than from
  anything I have ever read or heard
  about. [It's] research and documentation
  clarifies so many of the personalities
  and events that took place before 'my
  time' in the game. Jacques Barzun's
  quote: 'Whoever would know the heart
  and mind of America had better learn
  baseball' should be supplanted by [this]
  biography of Landis.

• Dylan Landis knows how to unnerve a reader, even as she's appreciating being unnerved. Rainey Royal thrums with sex and power. A brave, exquisite book.

• In my head, the 5 issues of A Spoon Too Short comprise one novel: a 100 page graphic novel sequel to Douglas' two Dirk books, taking some of the ideas he was working on before he died, and a whole bunch of new stuff from me and a little from Max Landis (who is the Executive Producer on the book as well as writing the forthcoming TV series).
