Two short stories by acclaimed novelist
and travel writer Paul Theroux adapted
into comics in a feat of vision only veteran
cartoonist Steve Lafler could accomplish.
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.
