The Man Who Would be Queen: Autobiographical Fictions
Description:
As everyone knows by now, I m homosexual. To write this sentence and to speak it publicly, which is a great liberation, is why I write. Provocative and percipient, The Man Who Would Be Queen is a collection of lyric essays on the self that flaunts itself as autobiographical fiction. In the words of its writer: The art of living is the art of creating life-fictions. The first and second sections of the autobiography take us through the garden of delight or the no man s land of childhood, and the circle of hell or the coming of age years; it is in the penultimate section How I write/ Why I write that the poet achieves the desired garden of bliss. The Man Who Would Be Queen is a significant landmark in Indian writing, both as the autobiography of a homosexual and of a poet.
