Morning Noon and Night

A hilarious monologue about fatherhood by a unique comic voiceIn Morning Noon and Night that master of the confessional Spalding Gray tells the event-filled emotionally charged and outrageously funny story of one day of his life in October 1997 after the birth of his son Theo. Horrified by the prospect of having another son considering what he and his two brothers did to their father and ambivalent about the idea of living in a small quaint town on eastern Long Island that seems an odd detour for a man destined for California Gray comes to feel of course a profound affinity for his baby boy born with the looks of a wet blue beaver. But this is not merely a father''s account of an infant son; it''s the story of his new life with his girlfriend Kathie; his regally precocious eleven-year-old stepdaughter Marissa (Please don''t let me die a virgin!); and his older son Forrest who stymies Gray time and again with his metaphysical inquisitiveness-Daddy what''s behind the stars? How do flies celebrate?A richly comic work about parenthood about adults who don''t grow up and children who do Morning Noon and Night stands as Gray''s most mature work to date.
