Humor
Having detailed the agonies of writing a book in his
monologue Monster in a Box, Spalding Gray now gives us the
monster itself: a convulsively funny, unexpectedly moving
novel about a man eternally searching for a moment of
protected pleasure even as he is permanently incapable of
finding it. Brewster North witnesses his mother's madness but misses
her suicide; searches frantically for enlightenment in the
Poconos and zipless sex in India; suffers family ennui in
Rhode Island and a nervous breakdown in Amsterdam. In the
process he emerges as a hilariously complex everyman. And
as Gray narrates his hero's free fall, he confirms his own
stature as one of our funniest, most eccentric, and most
engaging storytellers.
