Desert Queen
Jyoti Rajan Gopal
This poetic biography chronicles the life and career of Indian drag performer Queen Harish, also known as Harish Kumar. As a boy in Rajasthan, he is drawn to music, folk dance, and forms of expression treated as female, moving to those rhythms only in secret. Grief and the clothes that call to him help him find courage to perform. The book recounts harsh early reactions to his work and the way audiences gradually responded to his talent, grace, and warmth.
