“[A] superbly wrought novel . . . a portrait whose sincerity and depth makes it a well-polished gem.” —
Publishers Weekly
“It is a wonderful book. It really is a wonderful, beautiful, funny, breathtaking book. If it isn’t, then I don’t are for books that are.” — Keith Ridgway, The Guardian
“A stunning chronicle of the sickness of love.” — New York Post
“Gary Indiana’s dark, wordy tale of sexual obsession captures the propulsive rhythms of its New York City setting—the frantic energy, the ongoing battle to remain in the vanguard of taste, the conversations that consist of self-involved rushes of words.” — Los Angeles Times
“A perfectly rendered, very contemporary account of sexual manipulation.” — Kirkus Reviews
“ Horse Crazy is a sad, insane journey of infatuation and love. Frustrating to the bitter end—where all that is left is truth.” — Tracey Emin
“An archetypical story, expertly told. Fascinating to every man, no matter what his sexual tastes—like the characters in Genet.” — William S. Burroughs
“Indiana’s debut novel is an ’80s East Village classic . . . The portrait of how HIV first affected NYC’s gay community is unforgettable. And the narrator’s failed love occasions fiery character analysis—of both the pursuer and the pursued.” — Michael Miller, TimeOut NY
“A hip, stream-of-consciousness novel written with poignancy and skill.” — Vogue
“A you-are-there account of modern love—in particular, an erotic obsession.” — The Washington Post
“Bravo . . . a book the entire New York art world will read with relish . . . real life filtered through art.” — The Boston Phoenix
“A story of obsessive love, the kind of fixation in which the other person doesn’t love you back but strings you along, until you’re strung out on love.” — Newsday
"Both wise and aphrodiasic . . . captures the mood of a particular time and place—the East Village arts scene.” — The Washington Blade
" Horse Crazy follows an unnamed narrator. He is the most anxious voice in your head come to life. At one point, he spends like an hour walking between two intersections worried he's told Gregory (his younger, mysterious, heroin-addicted lover) the wrong meeting place. As he gets more and more wrapped up in Gregory's chaotic life, you really feel his desperation. By the end, he's nearly drowning in his (unreciprocated) love for Gregory and exhausting every lifeline his friends try to throw him. And then, Gregory is gone. This is an excruciating read." —Cody Stuart, bookseller at Book Culture
