Quantum Criminals

This amazing book is a combination of Steely Dan history, “speculative song analysis” about the various losers/criminals who populate the Dan's music, rabbit hole detours about real people who crossed paths with Becker/Fagen (e.g., the woman on the front cover of Aja), and an elegy for Walter Becker. And it's illustrated!

“Is there gas in the car?” If your immediate response isn't “Yes, there's gas in the car!” your may find yourself bemused by this book. But for crazed Dan Fans like me, it was 100% catnip.
