No Other World by Rahul Mehta

4.0

Coming of age book by a gay Indian man. Confused by his identity, Karan struggles with the paradox of his traditional culture and his rural upbringing in the US. While the struggle is real, the writing felt rather contrived and abrupt. The introduction of the hijra (hermaphrodite) in the last half felt completely out of place. A brave book, no doubt, dealing with issues of identity, homophobia, and loss of home.
