I didn't know

I didn't know Spalding Gray had killed himself! I didn't even know he had been dead for the last three years. I'm glad I didn't find out until I finished reading Swimming to Cambodia. I was wondering what he was up to these days while I read it. I guess you could tell he was kind of troubled, in a perky, functional, engaged sort of way. Still, though. It's disappointing.

You didn't hear about that? I remember being quite surprised by how much attention it attracted. Very sad.

Well, I don't know what I was doing then ... walking around with blinkers on, as usual, I suppose.

Hey, I didn't know he was dead either...

Apparently it was a pretty big deal. Huh.

P.s. You've been blogging loads and I haven't been paying attention. But I am now and I'll come by more often. Yes? Yes.

Yeah, the circumstances were a bit odd. I like to think he accidentally fell into the river.

And, yes, good! Come by more often! I would like that. And thanks for linking me too :)
