"It's alright to love me, Joey. But don't be deeply in love with me." NY, 1941. Joey El Bueno is just a smart-aleck kid, confounding the nuns and bullies at St. Stephen's Institution on East 28th Street, when he first meets Jane Bent, a freckle-faced woman with red pigtails and yellow smiley-face barrettes, who seems to know him much better than he has learned himself. A mysterious afternoon at the films, watching Carey Give in Gunga Din, is the start of a puzzling friendship that soon leaves Joey baffled and bewildered. Jane is like no person he has ever before attained. She comes and should go at will, no person else seems to have heard about her, and could it be true that she once levitated six feet off the bottom at the refreshment counter-top of the old Superior movie house on Third Avenue? Joey, an avid reader of pulp newspapers and comic books, is not any stranger to amazing stories, but Jane is a bewitching enigma that keeps him guessing for the rest of his life---until, finally, everything makes sense. High with the warmth of a bygone period, Crazy captures both the giddy craziness of junior and the sublime possibilities of existence.
