Remembering Spalding Gray In His Own Words

It’s been more than two years since Spalding Gray killed himself (likely by jumping off the Staten Island ferry). Now he’s being remembered in readings of his work. “It feels like the first time we’re opening the book again and going, ‘It’s O.K. to talk about Spalding.’ It was such a harsh end. But all those beautiful, graceful moments that he recognized in his work, they still stand. They don’t get negated by that last moment.”
