'As everyone knows by now, I'm homosexual.'
To write this sentence and to speak it publicly, which is a great liberation, is why I write.
Provocative and percipient, The Man Who Would Be Queen is a collection of lyric essays on the self that flaunts itself as autobiographical fiction. In the words of its writer: 'The art of living is the art of creating life-fictions.' The first and second sections of the autobiography take us through the garden of delight or the no-man's-land of childhood, and the circle of hell or the coming of age years; it is in the penultimate section 'How I write/Why I write' that the poet achieves the desired garden of bliss. Lyrical and erudite, playful and dark, The Man Who Would Be Queen is a significant landmark in Indian writing, both as the autobiography of a homosexual and of a poet.

Autoren-Porträt von Hoshang Merchant
Hoshang Merchant inherits his moralism from his Zoroastrian grandfathers, his aestheticism from a neurotic mother and his hedonism from his father—a young widow's heir. Trained in the West, Merchant chose to study Eastern religions during his travels; a democrat by education, he is aristocratic by instinct; an intuitive poet, he is a professor by profession. He has published many collections of poetry and is the editor of Yaarana: Gay Writing from South Asia. He lives alone in Hyderabad in a home he has made for himself where he fathers his books, his students and a young friend.
