Awards Reviews for my recent book: Edges of the Rainbow: LGBTQ Japan
“ The exquisite humanity in this book transcends all geographical and cultural difference to show us what is universal in ourselves, and germane to place. A triumph of insight and heart’
- - Hilton Als, 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner for criticism and staff writer for The New Yorker.

“The vibrant individuality, diversity, and universality of the LGBTQ lives we encounter in Edges of the Rainbow shatter all the formulaic canards about conformity and homogeneity that tend to be so fashionable in mainstream Western portraits of Japan.”
—John Dower, author of Embracing Defeat, 2000 Pulitzer Prize winner for Nonfiction
