PositiveBookforumGregory’s memoir, and his life, could be described as the story of the search beyond art turned into art itself. \'Might this,\' he asks, \'be part of the task of being human: to keep working on oneself . . . so your life can be more like a work of art itself?\' ... Can you have all of one without cutting into the other? The work? A life? The question trails Gregory across every decade, and it sits dormant in the corners of the vivid set pieces throughout his memoir.
