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. 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." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called Grayson's THE
SILICON VALLEY DIET (2000) "compulsively talky and engagingly
disjunctive" and THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, reviewing AND TO THINK
THAT HE KISSED HIM ON LORIMER STREET (2006), said, "Grayson has a
fresh, funny voice." The diary in OVER THE VERRAZANO covers
Grayson's year in graduate school at Richmond College in 1973-74.
