I had a girlfriend that adored Spalding Gray. Thus, I have seen Swimming to Cambodia five times.

One of the reasons his monologs were interesting was that he was working things out at as he spoke, or at least giving the illusion of working things out.

I have to imagine him writing the story of his suicide in his head as prepared for it. I think he thought the solution might come to him as he did it. Something profound would happen. A rescue. A chance encounter. Deus Ex Machina. That's how all those stories end, right?

I hate to be trite about it, but don't you think he, of all people, could have talked his way through it?

Yeah, if he couldn't talk himself out of it, then it must have been really bad. But then again, who better to talk him into it than him?

I always liked his stuff too. Did you ever read Impossible Vacation? Good stuff. Those roads in Ireland are tricky.
