Spalding Gray: Eulogy

Filed under: Uncategorized — Administrator @ 1:35 pm

Spalding Gray is probably dead. Here’s a friend’s eulogy for him. Money quote: "I try to imagine him actually attempting a swim to Cambodia. I see him swan-diving from the rail of the Staten Island Ferry late Saturday night when he disappeared, rounding Sandy Hook by dawn, and turning south for Cape Horn. He’d be well past the mouth of the Delaware by now, strong swimmer that he is. What a great monologue this is going to make."

Another good one goes. Where have all the good story tellers gone? Where are the Homers of our era? Where are those who weave with their words what Hollywood struggles to do with computers?
