You don't read "Words" straight through like other books. You dip in and out, and you think about it over periods of days or weeks while you're away from it... The experience is more like poetry you might think... Or maybe a literary op-ed (which is probably more spot-on as an approach to Devine's output).

That said... After you've spun with it for a while, do take the time to approach one of the stories as if it were actually a story... It does strange things to your brain. Detective work or lit...more
