The day when Macy's store security informed the author that her five year old daughter was boarding a crowded elevator, dragging a naked mannequin by his head, leaving behind a trail of plaster limbs and fine menswear, was the day absurdism became the new world order in the Walter household. Autism isn't funny. Yet, sometimes laughter rises feebly out of the ashes of tragedy, a little befuddled and slightly singed, like a hungover phoenix after mardi gras. Crazy Love: a Traumedy About Life with Autism, is a collection of fragments from the life of a little girl, that smokes out the farcical humor with saucy candor. Fresh as roadkill, from a mother caught in the twin headlights of reality and insanity, Crazy Love captures the dark humor that careens out of control when autism is at the wheel.
