A literary and visual exploration of the songs of Steely Dan, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory.
What The Reviewers Say
Wry, playful but deeply incisive.
A lively series of ruminations about individual songs, loosely pegged to the characters who populate those songs.
Steely Dan fans should love this book. And if you’re not a fan of that non-band band, but love good writing about rock music, Quantum Criminals is still worth reading..
[A] delicious deep dive into the many protagonists in the "Steely Daniverse".
