A review by dobbsthedog
She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya

5.0

This was an incredibly interesting book.  It switched between a story of a man who is constantly put in a certain box and how he grows to understand himself, his identity, and his body, and a reimagining of a Hindu myth that also takes a critical look at gender.

I really appreciated how the book took on the issue of bi erasure and how the main character found the language he needed to feel like himself.

It’s a very short book, so I won’t say too much, but I did thoroughly enjoy it.
