Quentin Lee

The Secret Diary of Edward Ng Quentin Lee

It's Edward Ng's last year at Berkeley. Set in the early 90s amidst campus protests, warehouse raves, and grad school applications, Edward is torn between sticking out in a non-monogamous relationship with his cute but flaky bisexual lover and consummating his unfinished affair with his closeted younger cousin. From his first sexual experience with his teenage cousin to hustling on the street to attending his graduation in drag, Edward embarks on an emotional roller coaster that unfolds his struggle to become a writer, his exploration of what it means to be gay and Asian in America, and ultimately his quest for connection.
