Spalding Gray, R.I.P.

The noted monologuist has dropped off the twig, in dramatic fashion, his body found in New York's East River.

His Swimming to Cambodia enthralled me, with his observations of Thailand's pro-pleasure culture, and his daringly minimalist presentation ... sitting at a desk speaking. Geographers will love the fact, however, that he performed the monologue with a map on stage. I had lost track of his post-Swimming oeuvre, see books here and DVDs here.
