The Pat Parker/Vito Russo Library Book Discussion

Lambda Literary 2009 winner for debut gay fiction. Satyal’s lovely first novel charts an Indian-American boy’s transformation from mere mortal to Krishnaji, the blue-skinned Hindu deity. Twelve-year-old Kiran is a bit of an outcast: he likes ballet and playing with his mother’s makeup. He also reveres his Indian heritage and convinces himself that he’s actually the 10th reincarnation of Krishnaji and plans to come out to the world at the 1992 Martin Van Buren Elementary School talent show. Satyal writes with a graceful ease, finding new humor in common awkward pre-teen moments and giving readers a delightful and lively young protagonist.
