Spring in Gainesville

Richard Grayson’s diary of his law school years at the University of Florida, taken from the spring semesters of 1992, 1993 and 1994. ROLLING STONE called Grayson’s first short story collection, WITH HITLER IN NEW YORK (1979) ＂where avant-garde fiction goes when it becomes stand-up comedy,＂ and NEWSDAY said, ＂The reader is dazzled by the swift, witty goings-on.＂ LIBRARY JOURNAL called LINCOLN’S DOCTOR’S DOG (1982) ＂excellent＂ and said of I BRAKE FOR DELMORE SCHWARTZ (1983) that ＂Grayson is a born storyteller and standup talker.＂ THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW said Grayson’s I SURVIVED CARACAS TRAFFIC (1996) was ＂entertaining and bizarre＂ and ＂consistently, even ingeniously funny.＂ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called Grayson’s THE SILICON VALLEY DIET (2000) ＂compulsively talky and engagingly disjunctive,＂ and THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, reviewing AND TO THINK THAT HE KISSED HIM ON LORIMER STREET (2006), said, ＂Grayson has a fresh, funny voice.＂ SPRING IN GAINESVILLE is his 16th diary compilation to bore readers.
