Bacon. Dogs. Deadwood.
Kurt Andersen talks with David Milch about how he went from being a professor of English literature at Yale to creating NYPD Blue and HBO’s verbose and raunchy Deadwood. Kevin Bacon stops by to talk about his new film, Loverboy. And our reporter takes his pit bull to sit (and stay) for a portrait by one of America’s most sought-after dog photographers.
