I knew he had been missing since Jan 11, and I knew he had been found dead, but this is the first time I've written about Spalding Gray's disappearance and death. Like others I've been strangely affected by this.
I never saw him live, although my brother John did at an Adelaide Festival of the Arts, where he performed Swimming to Cambodia. I did see some televised monologues; I hope I still have one performance on tape.
There is an awful lot of unrealised genius in the world.
