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.
