So Now You Know: A Memoir of Growing Up Gay in India by Vivek Tejuja

2.0

This book desperately needed editing. The writing is all over the place and is incredibly repetitive (within sentences and throughout the book). Sometimes the author is talking to the reader, past lovers, or someone else and none of it really works. Maybe I just don’t get it but the humor wasn’t funny and the self depreciation only came off as intense self loathing and bitterness. Also the timeline skips around in nonsensical ways. The harmful queer stereotypes that the author says he stands by were problematic and placed without context. The internalized homophobia was a lot to read. Probably closer to 1 Star
