When Helena Andrews heard this declaration on Saturday Night Live, her first reaction was How daaare you?

In Other Words is a lively, charming, gossipy memoir of life in the publishing trenches and how one restlessly curious young woman sparked a creative awakening in a new country she chose to call home.
