Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Will Grayson, Will Grayson, 1)

Product Information

A teaser of the third series shares: “Armed with a new set of themes, Grayson’s Art Club promises to represent the ever-changing mood of the nation, and once again we will see Grayson in his studio making his own art responding to what has got the nation talking. I am glad David Levithan joined John Green to create this story, because clearly Green is unable to write any other characters different from what he had already offered in Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. His Will Grayson is the same old nerdy, too eloquent boy who is into a smart, attractive, and slightly pretentious girl. Green simply cannot move on to any other ensemble. Olive skin, chocolate brown hair, and wears glasses that seem far too big for her face. Usually doesn't care about her appearance and doesn't bother wearing makeup.

The doom and gloom of Naperville Will Grayson’s life stands in stark contrast to Chicago Will Grayson’s life. Tiny has asked Will to come to the next Gay Straight Alliance meeting to boost the club’s numbers. Tiny needs as much support as he can get if he is going to be able to produce his musical Tiny Dancer: The Life of Tiny Cooper. Jane is also a member of the GSA. When it is revealed that Jane is straight, Tiny starts trying to get Jane and Will to start dating. However, Will’s rules are as follows: “1. Shut up. 2. Don’t care too much. And 3. Never kiss a girl you like.” However, Tiny convinces everyone to go out again to see another show. By the time they get to the show, Will has resolved to pursue Jane after all. Before you start thinking, "It's possible to meet someone with the same last name and first name as you, you idiot", allow me to explain. This would be more believable if their last name was something like "Smith" or "Johnson." But no, their last name is Grayson. Maybe it's just me, (and it's probably just me) but I have never met anyone, in my entire life, with the last name Grayson. The name Will I can understand. I know three Wills. But no Graysons. I'm not saying it couldn't happen. It's just seems a little unlikely.It was like listening to a high school drama TV mini series. In fact, it reminded me a lot of My So-Called Life. Since the story is really about Tiny Cooper, that would make him the Angela Chase of this book. So then, Eeyore Will would be the tortured and complex Jordan Catalano and Best Friend Will would then be Brian Krakow, I guess. Angst... Drama... Intrigue... Hilarity. It was a reminder that art isn’t just about galleries and ostentation but that it can cut to the heart of human experience.” The Telegraph Greyson McConnell: Owner and bartender at a local bar on the reality television show, “Stumptown” and brother of Michael McConnell, Jr.

On the return of the series, Grayson and Philippa Perry said: “ We’re delighted that we’re opening up the doors to our Art Club again. This show was borne out of a time where we needed art to help us make sense of the changes in our lives and find meaning from what we were collectively going through. In series 3 we’re working on a new set of themes to inspire the nation to make more art to illuminate what we now face, whatever that is, and we ’ re both very much looking forward to seeing what the British public will create this time around” Levithan's Will Grayson, on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air with a whiff of depression. He is a loner, a tad mentally unstable, but funny in a sarcastic kind of way. I have read a ton of YA lit and still I think this character is quite unique. Tiny visits Naperville Will’s home and gets along well with Will’s mother. Will is conscious of how wealthy Tiny’s family is and feels ashamed of his own house. They get along well otherwise and kiss. With the musical in full production, Evanston Will cannot find any of his friends in the lunchroom and instead goes to the auditorium with his tray of food. Once there, he hears Tiny instructing Gary, who is playing a character based on Evanston Will, that he needs to be more pathetic and irritating. Will becomes upset and leaves. He expects that Tiny will chase after him to apologize, but he does not.

Shaminder Nahal, Commissioning Editor commented: “Grayson’s Art Club has brilliantly demonstrated how much art means to so many people, and its power to bring us together and help us in difficult times. The first of the story’s protagonists and title characters. Will is a teenager on the edge of adulthood whose life philosophies are to shut up and not care. These philosophies are based on his fear of getting hurt and stymies his growth. Will’s childhood best friend, Tiny Cooper, pushes him to be vulnerable and face his truth so that he can build meaningful relationships with his friends, family, and love interest to grow into the person he is meant to be.
