Extremely short with gorgeous, telling pictures, the entire coming-of-age story can be read in about 15 minutes. It tracks a boy from his birth -- his mother wants boys so badly that she promises to donate their hair in a temple if given boys, leading everyone to believe the boy is a girl for his first two years -- through his coming of age and the beginnings of puberty and sexual awakening. Lots of nice Indian-Canadian and queer experience details mixed in with a series of powerful vignettes, excellently written. no reviews | add a review
