Overview

With daring virtuosity, writer-actor-performance artist Spalding Gray takes us on an odyssey for our time - a dizzy escapade swerving and plunging between outrageous hilarity and chilling revelation - stretching all the way from Gulf of Siam to poolside Beverly Hills. Inspired by his experiences acting in the Academy Award-winning film The Killing Fields, master storyteller Gray has enthralled audiences from coast to coast and in Europe with his solo performances of Swimming to Cambodia

Now this major voice from the American theatre avant-garde becomes a major voice in American literature as his newest, most ambitious work appears for the first time complete in print. And now readers can join his large, loyal theatre following on his quest for the ever elusive Perfect Moment, in the last days of the twentieth century.

Editorials

Jack Viertel

His art is almost closer to that of the magician. Gray draws a graceful, sometimes invisible line from the primal to the avante-garde.
