All he wanted was a vacation. But Brewster North won't even give himself a break. On a Rhode Island beach, at the age of six, he is set upon by a vision of Bali which still haunts him. Racked with guilt over his mother's suicide, Brewster wanders aimlessly, trying to recapture contentment.

"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 TimesSpalding Gray was born and raised in Rhode Island. A cofounder of the acclaimed New York City theater company the Wooster Group, he appeared on Broadway and in numerous films, including Roland Joffe's The Killing Fields, David Byrne's True Stories, Garry Marshall's Beaches, and as the subject of the 2010 Steven Soderbergh documentary, And Everything is Going Fine. His monologues include Sex and Death to the Age 14, Swimming to Cambodia, Monster in a Box, Gray's Anatomy, and It's a Slippery Slope. He died in 2004.
