She of the Mountains

She Of The Mountains is a beautifully rendered illustrated novel by Vivek Shraya, the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist God Loves Hair (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2014, also available from Turnaround).

Shraya weaves a passionate, contemporary love story between a man and his body, with a re-imagining of Hindu mythology.

Both narratives explore the complexities of embodiment and the damaging effects that policing gender and sexuality can have on the human heart.
