Money, women, power, and rebelling against the golden years. These are some of the perilous and alluring patterns that weave their way through Crazy for You. In this double feature of love and obsession, two short stories by the acclaimed writer Paul Theroux are adapted by veteran cartoonist Steve Lafler. Minor Watt is a high society satire lampooning the perverse relationship between art and the art market -- and what happens when the joy of owning is outstripped by the thrill of destroying. Siamese Nights is a tale of infidelity, infatuation, and exoticism, blending into an intoxicating, midlife crisis siren song. Little choices and self-betrayals build until a quiet leitmotif rolls into a shattering crescendo.
Lafler's bold and expressive style effortlessly captures the pulp exuberance adorning Theroux's stories and the profound vulnerability underlying his characters. Crazy for You will stop you in your tracks right before it bowls you over.
