To Tuesday Interview

Roscoe Dewitt Atkins has published his fourth book, all of which are about his penis. This one is called Scotty Never Lied.

TTM: So, I guess my first question is why: why the penis?

RDW: It's always been such a big part of my life. I can't remember not thinking about it; and anyway, I got into trouble once over it.

TTM: Really? What happened?

RDW: Well I had told a young lady friend that I didn't have a penis. So, I asked her if she wanted to look for herself, and then I showed it to her, she said that there was a penis there, and I told her that it wasn't there that morning.

TTM: It caused some trouble?

RDW: Yep. And I decided if this was the way I was going to be, that I should find the best way to legitimize it.

TTM: Have you sought medical attention?

RDW: Yep. I don't like the way they laugh.

TTM: So, your fourth book is out. How is it working out?

RDW: Not good financially, but it is gratifying in other ways.

TTM: This was a labor of love then?

RDW: I wanted it to be, but it turned into a lot of work. I got stressed and found it difficult to get the job done.

"My agent was always asking, 'Are you done yet?'"

TTM: But you stuck with it.

RDW: You have to just keep plugging away. It took three years for this book.

TTM: How long is it?

RDW: It's not so long, but it is thick.

TTM: Well now you have it out. How is it being received?

RDW: I haven't found a publisher yet. I've been showing it around--pulling it out whenever I can. Look. Here it is! Look at it!
