"In Marc Francis's well-researched and robustly imagined Curating Deviance, art-house revival has found both a cultural history and curatorial rationale that goes beyond nostalgia. With a theorist's acuity and a cinephile's affection, Francis reframes stories of imaginative curators and programmers who transformed the movie calendar into a renegade syllabus of maverick desire."-Tavia Nyong'o, William Lampson Professor of American Studies, Yale University
