On Thursday, November 17th from 7:30 – 10:00 PM, join your Chat Lounge hosts Tess and Dee as they welcome the author of Crazy Little Thing: Why Love and Sex Drive Us Mad,  Liz Langley,  to the Chat Lounge.

In Crazy Little Thing: Why Love and Sex Drive Us Mad, published by Cleis Press’ Viva Editions, author Liz Langley explores the highs and lows of the mental illness we all want to have -  love – and what happens in our brains and our lives when our hearts take the wheel from our heads.

Tales of a grave-robbing love slave, love among the circus freaks and a filmmaker whose break-up was one for the holy books – these are among the stories Langley will read from Crazy Little Thing along with some expert input on the brain chemistry that causes us to go through such divine damned madness.

We’ll talk about some of the brain chemistry of love, some of the psychological reasons we do things in love that seem totally counterintuitive,  look at some of the crazy love stories that have appeared since the book was finished and talk about the fact that we often feel so ridiculous when things go wrong in love despite the fact that it happens to all of us and often.

Liz Langley was born in Brooklyn, NY, was shanghaied to Florida at a young age and has decided to stay because now they know her at the local nudist resort. Also in Florida, 46 is considered really young. An award-winning freelance writer, she has appeared in more than 20 publications including Details, Alternet and Salon and in the Cleis Press book “Best Sex Writing 2008.” She writes a column for SeXis magazine and dreams of having her own Airstream trailer but not needing to live in it.
