<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Within a year, the familiar boundaries of Spalding Gray's existence have been altered by betrayal, love, lust and loss. He suddenly marries his longtime companion, and divorces her just as quickly; he moves in with his girlfriend, Kathie, who bears him a son; and he learns, against all odds, to ski. But not even his mastery of the much-feared right turn can prepare him for the exhilarating experience of fatherhood. A brilliant improvisation with as many twists and turns as a double-diamond course, <i>It's a Slippery Slope</i> explores how one man survives a mid-life crisis by finding his balance on skis.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The grand master of the first-person singular ... Skiing is definitely a Gray area." --<i>Peter Marks, The New York Times</i> <p/>"Spalding Gray may be the nation's most outstanding storyteller. Nothing eludes his eye or the sureness of his satire. The secret of his success is the skewed angle of vision--his eccentric wit and ruthless candor." --<i>Los Angeles Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Writer and actor <b>Spalding Gray</b> was best known for writing and starring in autobiographical monologues like <i>Swimming to Cambodia</i>, <i>Monster in a Box</i>, and <i>It's a Slippery Slope</i> where he humorously integrated his anxieties and experiences into stage performances. He was a co-founder of the Wooster Theatre Group in New York City and also appeared in films such as <i>The Killing Field</i> and <i>Kate & Leopold</i>.
