Spalding Gray: It’s a Slippery Slope

Within a year, the familiar boundaries of Spalding Gray’s existence have been altered by betrayal, love, lust, and loss. He suddenly marries his longtime companion, and divorces her just as quickly; he moves in with his girlfriend, Kathie, who bears him a son; and he learns against all odds to ski. But not even his mastery of the much-feared right turn can prepare him for the exhilarating experience of fatherhood. A brilliant improvisation with as many twists and turns as a double-diamond course, It’s a Slippery Slope explores how one man survives a mid-life crisis by finding his balance on skis.
