520    "'Crazy for Vincent' begins with the death of the figure 
       it fixates upon: Vincent, a skateboarding, drug-addled, 
       delicate 'monster' of a boy in whom the narrator finds a 
       most sublime beauty. By turns tender and violent, Vincent 
       drops in and out of French writer and photographer Hervé 
       Guibert's life over the span of six years. After Vincent's
       senseless death, the narrator embarks on a reconnaissance 
       writing mission to retrieve the Vincent that had entered, 
       elevated, and emotionally eviscerated his life, working 
       chronologically backward from the death that opens the 
       text. Assembling Vincent's fragmentary appearances in his 
       journal, the author seeks to understand what Vincent's 
       presence in his life had been: a passion, an erotic 
       obsession, or an authorial invention? A parallel inquiry 
       could be made into the book: is it a diary, a memoir, a 
       poem, or fiction? Autopsy, crime scene, hagiography, hymn?
       'Crazy for Vincent' is a text the very nature of which is 
       as untethered as desire itself." -- rear cover
