Grayson, Richard

Richard Grayson is an elderly recluse who leaves his apartment only for daily mall-walks in Brooklyn's Kings Plaza Shopping Center. In 1979, his first book, With Hitler in New York, was called "really funny" by Liz Smith in The Daily News and "where avant-garde fiction goes when it turns into stand-up comedy" by Greil Marcus in Rolling Stone. It's all been downhill from there. A chronicle of his decline is at www.richardgrayson.com.
