Richard Grayson has been keeping a daily diary compulsively since
the summer of 1969, when he was an 18-year-old agoraphobic about to
venture out into the world - or at least the world around him in
Brooklyn. His diary, approximately 600 words a day without missing
a day since August 1, 1969, now totals over 9 million words,
rivaling the longest diaries ever written. But Grayson is not
merely an eccentric with graphomania. His nonfiction has appeared
in PEOPLE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE ORLANDO SENTINEL, THE SAN JOSE
MERCURY NEWS, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC, THE NEW YORK POST and numerous
other periodicals. Excerpts from his diaries have appeared online
at McSWEENEY'S and THOUGHT CATALOG. ROLLING STONE called Grayson's
first short story collection, WITH HITLER IN NEW YORK, published in
1979, "where avant-garde fiction goes when it becomes stand-up
comedy," and NEWSDAY said, "The reader is dazzled by the swift,
witty goings-on." A BROOKLYN MFA covers the first half of 1976 as
Grayson begins to publish his stories.
