So Now You Know: A Memoir of Growing Up Gay in India by Vivek Tejuja
3.0
It is a remarkable book in its genre. However, I found it to be slightly problematic in some regards:
-A lack of sensitivity and lowkey erasure of trans folks
-Circumstances which to me, seemed to violate consent
-A very privileged perspective that I feel the author was not cognizant of at times.
It is, at its heart, very much a story of a cis-male, savarna queer man. I appreciate it for it is, being the same myself. But we need more perspectives from the margins.
