Description: True story: twelve-year-old André the Giant, already well over six feet tall and 240 pounds, didn’t fit on the school bus. André’s neighbor, feeling sorry for the boy, offered to drive him to school in his truck. The neighbor was Samuel Beckett. Out of that bit of trivia comes SAM AND DEDE, OR MY DINNER WITH ANDRÉ THE GIANT, imagining a number of scenes between a giant who cannot hide, and a writer obsessed with silence.
