From the Author
I would like to thank Sara Angel for the opportunity to work on this book with the ACI team, and Sarah Parsons for the introduction and encouragement. It has been a true pleasure working with Jocelyn Anderson, Stephanie Burdzy, Barbara Campbell, Annie Champagne, Tara Ng, Jennifer Orpana, Michael Rattray, and Simone Wharton. I would like to extend special thanks to Jocelyn Anderson for her editorial support and engaging discussion throughout the process.
As this book has developed out of a years-long dissertation project, there are many individuals deserving of my sincere thanks for their early and ongoing contributions to shaping the larger project, including Sarah Parsons, Sophie Hackett, Dan Adler, David Harris, Gaëlle Morel, and Thierry Gervais.
I owe a debt of gratitude to The Estate of Arnaud Maggs, including the helpful support of Rebecca Duclos and Charlotte Perreault. I am especially indebted to Spring Hurlburt and Katiuska Doleatto for their enthusiastic support of my research with access to materials and image permissions and for contributing such valuable insight in interviews with me.
I am grateful to each and every one of the individuals who took time to share their thoughts about Arnaud Maggs with me. Thank you Karyn Allen, Donna Braggins, Keith Brandscombe, Claire Dawson, Lee Dickson, the late Jim Donoahue, Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Jon Eby, Marjorie Harris, Eleanor Johnston, Katherine Knight, Suzy Lake, Martha Langford, Kristie MacDonald, John Macfarlane, Caitlan Maggs, the late Michael Mitchell, Philip Monk, Paul Orenstein, Fidel Peña, Mike Robinson, Nigel Smith, Maia-Mari Sutnik, Ann Thomas, Rhiannon Vogl, and Barry Zaid. I enjoyed our conversations very much and felt renewed energy for the project after each meeting.
Thank you as always and forever, Marco, Sadie, and Tom Cibola, Nancy and Wally Merrill, and Roslyn Costanzo.
