New Tracy Letts!

I have to admit to doing a little bit of clapping my hands in my seat after reading this quick New York interview with Tracy Letts about his follow-up to August: Osage County. First, having grown up loving Homer Price, I'm a bit of a softie for anything set in a donut shop. And second, I feel like Letts does with words what Tony Kusher (whom I genufluct towards every time I write, so no disrespect intended) sometimes overshoots at when he's trying to be playful. The line "Forsook you, and the horse you rode in on!" from an argument about how to pronounce the tenses of forsaken, is one of my favorite language-nerd insults of all time.
