Reviews

"The grand master of the first-person singular ... Skiing is definitely a Gray area." --Peter Marks, The New York Times "Spalding Gray may be the nation's most outstanding storyteller. Nothing eludes his eye or the sureness of his satire. The secret of his success is the skewed angle of vision--his eccentric wit and ruthless candor." --Los Angeles Times
