Criticism Containing Books Horse Crazy

Please dont use swimming in the ocean while menstruating as a metaphor for a dumb drama between 2 men! Do all men think they are the first to be daring enough to use a period joke? Sorry, maybe this was exciting at the time it was written but to me it was boring and tbh Im tired of junkies being romanticized.

Gary Indiana is a wise and well-respected art critic. a photo of him will show a man who looks really gnomish, wizened well beyond his years, an almost malnourished version of Truman Capote. he is not even remotely a traditionally handsome guy. i say this not to be critical or demeaning; my point is that this is a man who has experienced difference his entire life - so i hoped his perspective would be informed by perhaps something of an outsider mentality. and this lack - combined with the

Deconstructing the proxemics of bodily desires, within the bounds of social standards and the mechanics of psycopathy, operates in the debut novel of Gary Indiana, Horse Crazy (Plume Books, 1990). An art critic himself, Indiana transported the readers into the (mis)adventures of an unnamed art columnist together with his love object, Gregory, a bisexual waiter-photographer-heroin-addict.

Addiction stalks through the streets of Indiana's Lower East Side, as his characters succumb to drugs to love to boys to work while the world falls apart around them through AIDS and gentrification. Indiana writes with an anxious fury.
