Editing Spalding Gray (section)

===Posthumous works by and about him===
In 2005, Gray's unfinished final monologue was published in a hardcover edition titled ''Life Interrupted: The Unfinished Monologue.'' The monologue, which Gray had performed in one of his last public appearances, is augmented by two additional pieces he performed at the time, a short remembrance called "The Anniversary" and an open letter to New York City written in the wake of the [[September 11 attacks]]. Also included in the book is an extensive collection of remembrances and tributes from fellow performers and friends.

The 2007 play ''Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell,'' produced at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City, is based on his monologues and journals. Kathleen Russo, his widow, developed the concept for the play.<ref name="brantley"/> The show has a cast of four actors as well as a rotating guest artist; all five read from selected portions of his work.<ref name="brantley">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/07/theater/reviews/07gray.html |author-link=Ben Brantley|first=Ben |last=Brantley |title=A Master of Monologues, Living on in His Words|work=The New York Times|date= March 7, 2007|access-date= February 19, 2017}}</ref>

In January 2010, [[Steven Soderbergh]]'s documentary ''[[And Everything Is Going Fine]]'' was released at Utah's [[Slamdance Film Festival]]. The film was compiled from film and video clips of Gray's early life and career. Russo said that Soderbergh "wanted Spalding to tell the story, as if it was his last monologue, and I think he accomplished that".<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/17/movies/17soderbergh.html |title=One Singular Auteur, Through Another|work=The New York Times|date= January 15, 2010}}</ref>

In 2011 a selection from his journals was published as ''The Journals of Spalding Gray,'' edited by Nell Casey, who had worked with Russo on the project.<ref name="rosenbaum">{{cite news| url = https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/30/books/review/the-journals-of-spalding-gray-edited-by-nell-casey-book-review.html |first=Ron|last= Rosenbaum|title= What Spalding Gray Left Us|work=The 'New York Times|date= October 28, 2011|access-date= February 19, 2017}}</ref> Dwight Garner found this material less interesting than Gray's monologues. He said they have value as a "portrait of a theatrical coming of age" as Gray determined how to make his art. Garner wrote, "His art, these journals make clear, is what kept him alive."<ref name="garner">{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/18/books/journals-of-spalding-gray-edited-by-nell-casey-review.html?action=click&contentCollection=Sunday%20Book%20Review&module=RelatedCoverage&region=Marginalia&pgtype=article |first=Dwight|last= Garner|title=Peering Beyond a Monologist's Stage Presence Into His Uncensored Mind| work=The New York Times|date= October 17, 2011|access-date= February 19, 2017}}</ref>
