Richard Grayson letter in The New York Times Book Review: "Mass Sensibility"
Richard Grayson and his brother Jonathan Grayson have a letter in the New York Times Book Review today (May 3, 1981), "Mass Sensibility":
To the Editor:
In his review of Michael Arlen's "The Camera Age" (April 12), Robert Brustein supposes that the literary sensibility and the mass sensibility never meet in today's world. He poses the question, "How many readers of this review can actually identify the lead actresses in 'Laverne and Shirley,' or the host of 'The Price is Right,' or the central characters in 'Dynasty' -- names that are bywords to millions of fellow Americans?"
In the interest of healing the great American cultural schism, we thought we'd answer Mr. Brustein's questions: (1) Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams; (2) Bob Barker (formerly Bill Cullen); (3) Denver oil tycoon Blake Carrington, his unfaithful wife, homosexual son and nymphomaniac daughter.
These were easy. Can we come back next week and try for more prizes?

Delray Beach News-Journal Reviews Richard Grayson's WITH HITLER IN NEW YORK
Today's Delray Beach News Journal (Wednesday, April 1, 1981) has a review of Richard Grayson's With Hitler in New York:
Book review
WITH HITLER IN NEW YORK.
By Richard Grayson. Taplinger, 1979.
$7.95, 190 pages.
By Jack Saunders
Hannah Arendt wrote a book called The Banality of Evil. Or she wrote about the concept "the banality of evil" in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem. I don't remember. The phrase has entered the language. Like the phrase "The Ugly American" entered the language – backwards. Facts are banal. Evil is banal. Hitler is alive and living in New York.
With Hitler in New York, by Richard Grayson, is a collection of stories about what people do in this country: watch television, eat junk food, go to art museums, visit nursing homes, go to psychiatrists. With Hitler in New York is a serious book. A funny one too.
When a radio station in New York read over the air the names of men who had been picked up for patronizing prostitutes – the so-called john list – Grayson called the station and turned himself in. He wanted his name read "before I strike again."
These stories strike like lunacy.
If your bookstore doesn't have this book, it's available from the publisher (Taplinger Publishing Company, 132 West 22nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10011) for $7.95.
Grayson, who lives in his parents' spare room in Davie, just outside Ojus, doesn't have any, having given all his complimentary author's copies away.
I read a review that compared Grayson to Steve Martin and Fran Leibowitz. I'd compare him to Franz Kafka. No, I'd compare him to Nathanael West.
Man, this guy can write.
