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 diary ever written. Grayson's seventeenth
compilation of diary entries, AUTUMN IN GAINESVILLE, alternates
among the three fall seasons he worked as a staff attorney in
social policy at University of Florida law school think tank.
Taking place from 1994 to 1996, Grayson's diary chronicles his
adventures as a legal researcher, college instructor, gay rights
activist, candidate for Congress and columnist for New Jersey
Online. Working for a education project called Schoolyear 2000 and
one of the first experiments in web-based journalism projects,
Grayson moves into his mid-40s and finds himself surprised with a
book contract for a new collection of short stories.
