2: An excerpt from the next edition of "This American Life" from WBEZ: A performance excerpt from monologist, actor and writer SPALDING GRAY. His latest show "It's a Slippery Slope" opens this Sunday at New York's Lincoln Center Theater. This excerpt was recorded at Chicago's Goodman Theater. He's known for his monologues which include; "Monster in a Box" about all the distractions that prevented him from completing his novel, Impossible Vacation, and Swimming to Cambodia about filming a movie in Cambodia. Last year GRAY released a book about his eye problems, and his adventures in the mainstream and alternative health care industries. It's called Gray's Anatomy. (Vintage Books).
