Book Reviews of Spalding Gray's America
Book Review: Spalding Gray's America, or Demastes' Spalding Gray?
Summary: 3 Stars
I didn't know what to expect ordering this book. It's about a 300 page book with an introduction by Richard Schechner, the intro. full of new information about the Theater group Spalding was apart of and his relationship with Schechner over the years. Rich in detail.
The first few chapters of the book, more information about Wooster and The Performance group. Demastes's following chapters on the books are tough to make it through, if you know the language of Spalding's books very well. Yes, we know about meeting Sam Shepard and Lou Reed and feeling unmanly in your sneakers ---I don't want to be quoted back Spalding, again and again.
However, great pictures I've never seen.
For me, the surveying style, however, is what kind of killed it for me.
With the title, I was hoping for some information about his travelling live monologues....
