Spalding Gray: Terrors of Pleasure

Spalding Gray: Terrors of Pleasure is a 1988 filming of a monologue written and performed by Spalding Gray.

In it, he chronicles the adventures he shared with his girlfriend, Renee, in the Catskills. These took place in and around a cabin he purchased, there in Upstate New York, including the apparent absence of any foundation, and a furnace located in the attic, which is not ideal, if one thinks to take normal heat-flow direction into account.

Famous quotes containing the words terrors and/or pleasure:

    In so far as one denies what is, one is possessed by what is not, the compulsions, the fantasies, the terrors that flock to fill the void.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    We talk about taking “pleasure in a thing”: but in truth it is pleasure in ourselves, mediated by a thing.
