Review
"Quintessential Gray, unique in [its] rueful blend of curiosity, self-mockery and panic."
-- The New York Times Book Review "Beautifully written, with all the visually organic wit of Gray's best monologue writing, as well as...emotional power [and] loopy nobility." -- Newsday "An intimate, casual voice, capable of discussing anything from pornographic films to Chekhov's 'Sea Gull, ' from acid trips to family holidays, with lightly ironic candor. One finishes the book impressed by how readily Gray's narrative voice transfers to the page." -- The New York TimesAbout the Author
