When I first started this book, I had a thought, a feeling that this was going to special. And it is, for several reasons.
My first story by a Nepali author writing in English. My first memoir. My first time reading about a Nepali queer person. And tomorrow, Niranjan Kunwar is going to be the first author I've met.
Between Queens and the Cities is dripping with honesty. Kunwar's words are simple yet poetic, his descriptions vivid, and his emotions tangible. While reading his story, I learnt so much of so much else— the queer community and activists of Nepal, about travels, and about relationships, I could almost compare this to a lighthouse.
