I’m thinking about working on this design… honest
John Perry Barlow has penned an essay on the dissappearence of the great Spalding Gray. I can only hope it’s not his eulogy.
I saw ‘Monster in a Box’ in Lincoln Center, ironically enough on the night the bombs started falling over Baghdad during Gulf War I. I’ll never forget it, not for the content but for how that moment felt. All of us sitting in the theater wondering if it even was appropriate to be out on a night like that and then the house lights dimmed and he came out on stage, took a deep breath and jumped right into it. And for a couple of hours we were all removed from the awful news outside.
I hope he’s off somewhere having a quite moment to himself. I can’t imagine what his wife and children are going through.
I keep hoping he’s finally found that one moment, the perfect moment that he’s always talked about.
I also want to offer to check every folding table in NY that has only a glass of water on it.
Yeah that’s the main thing I remember about Swimming to Cambodia - the perfect moment. It’s stuck with me ever since.

I saw “monster in a box” on television in Australia about 6 or 7 years ago. It made a very strong impression on me, as I also have trouble writing. He documented just how difficult it is to complete “a book”, but also how insistent and inescapable the urge is to do so. I remember the last line about “taking a long break”.
When I came to live in New York, I found out where he was playing and went to see him. (I saw “Life Interrupted”. It left me very unnerved and disappointed, but I will remember his piece of advice about wearing a seat belt in the back seat.)
This man who never knew me will remain with me.
