Review of Swimming to Cambodia (1987) by David B — 11 Jul 2010
There was a brief time, in the late 80s, when monologists fit the alternative bill (Bogosian, Laurie Anderson) and kudos to Demme for using his short-lived clout to bring Gray to the Landmark audience.
Spalding (with hindsight) is a tragic figure, but here his recollections and anecdotal acumen hit some revelatory highs, he's the faux-innocent abroad,a self-contained reimagined Twain edifying and entertaining, the devastating truth couched alongside jokes about Thai twats.
