Firstly, I would like to thank Godfrey Cheshire, Matt Zoller Seitz and Armond White for agreeing to work on this book with me, and for being so generous with their time. This has been a long process, considerably longer than any of us anticipated, and their patience and support has been unwavering throughout.
Thanks to everyone at Seven Stories, JS Aurelius for his beautiful artwork and Jim Knipfel for his introdction. For their support, advice and feedback, many thanks to Jake Perlin, Keith Uhlich, Paul Cronin, Rupert Clervaux, and my parents. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife Carla for her constant support, and her mother Rita who played a big role in kickstarting this project and who, sadly, is not here to see its completion.
