Acknowledgements

This is for all the women and men like me, who at one point only had literature and film as an outlet to feel comfortable with their sexuality.

I can never say thank you enough to Marc Gerald and Peter McGuigan who believed in me and pushed me to make this a reality, when I doubted myself. Chris and Masumi for their continuous guidance, invaluable research, and input. MV Cobra for your love and light. Thanks to my friends Saelee Oh, James Jean, Dave Choe, Yoshi Obayashi, Kristin Burns, Candice Birns, Brian Levy, and New School Media. Beth DeGuzman, Selina McLemore, Catherine Burke, David Shelley, Kirsteen Astor, Stéphanie Abou, Kirsten Neuhaus, you’ve all put so much time and effort into making TJS everything it could be, thank you!

I’ve had an incredible amount of support from everyone at Grand Central, Little Brown, The Agency Group, and Foundry Literary & Media. Noel Clarke, and Mat Schulz, thanks for looking out. Last but certainly not least all of the filmmakers and writers who continue to inspire me: Godard, Fellini, Buñuel, Friedkin, Jean-Baptiste de Boyer, Angela Carter, Voltaire, THE MDS.
