Bean Book

Orson Bean is a wonderful actor and wit and game show host and I've really enjoyed his past books, especially an autobiography he penned called Too Much Is Not Enough. Good stuff.

Recently, he wrote a novel called Mikey with a spiritual theme to it. He has not been able to find a publisher for it because, he says, it's been deemed "too profane for a Christian publishing house and too Christian for a traditional house." That means it's about God and redemption but people in it cuss a lot and have a lot of sex.

Since no one's racing to publish it, Bean's agent suggested putting it up on the Internet. I haven't had the time yet to read Mikey and might not for a while. But it's Orson Bean and I figure that even if I don't like it, you might. So you can click here to read it — you'll need to have Adobe Something on your computer — and I'm not so much recommending it as telling you that it's there. Stan Sakai told me but I don't think he read it, either.
