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. Excerpts from his
diaries have appeared online at McSWEENEY'S and THOUGHT CATALOG.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called Grayson's THE SILICON VALLEY DIET (2000)
"compulsively talky and engagingly disjunctive"; KIRKUS DISCOVERIES
termed Grayson "an audacious and wickedly smart comedic writer" in
its review of HIGHLY IRREGULAR STORIES (2005); and THE PHILADELPHIA
INQUIRER, reviewing AND TO THINK THAT HE KISSED HIM ON LORIMER
STREET (2006), said, "Grayson has a fresh, funny voice." BOY GETS
BROOKLYN covers Grayson's senior year at Brooklyn College in
1972-73.
