Blue Boy
Rakesh Satyal
Kensington (kensingtonbooks.com)
Kiran is a young Indian boy growing up in Cleveland. An only son, he bears the mammoth social expectations of his family and his culture. His love of makeup, dolls, and the arts would make him a failure if it did not prove he is the reincarnation of Krishna. This deeply moving debut novel by Rakesh Satyal reminds us that when we are young and gay, “sometimes we are so consumed by the flame, burning so painfully in its heat, that we can’t see the utter gorgeousness of the fire.” — Review: Angel Curtis
