"Grayson is a born storyteller and standup talker...Highly recommended." "Grayson's stories are full on insanity, nutty therapists, cancerous relatives, broken homes, fiction workshops, youthful theatricals at Catskill bungalow colonies and the morbid wizardry of telephone answering machines." "Here is an imaginative and engaging writer who breaks all the conventions of contemporary fiction with a certain devilish relish." "Disingenuous confessions of the writer's ineptitude are suffused with the appealing confessional anxiety of a small-time writer scrabbling against odds."
