Crazy Men Profiled
Whole lotta crazy guys being profiled in the magazines.
You can start at Vanity Fair where there is a strange article by Brian McNally, the restauranter who seemed to catch the zeitgeist of the 80's and 90's and seems to have imploded in this century -- divorced, he made his way to Vietnam where he writes about the joys of barbershops there. I, for one, can't exactly understand what the hell he is talking about but worth checking out

Meanwhile over at The New Yorker, this week's issue (March 24, 2008) has two profiles of seriously crazed dudes -- one by Ben McGrath about former baseball player Lenny Dykstra's improbably post career success as a day trader and as the man about to launch a magazine / insurance co / financial consulting co for professional athletes.
- GOOD EVENING, VIETNAM!
- An aging, divorced ex-restaurateur trapped in the SoHo–St. Barth’s–Hamptons grind, Brian McNally moves to Saigon, where the girls are kind, the clip joints plentiful, and the field trips hair-raising. Photographs by John Stanmeyer.
and then a piece on chef David Chang and his incredibly intense way of making the simple great
- Chef on the Edge
- Larissa MacFarquhar
- David Chang’s culinary quest. (no link for this one)
