Blue Skinned Gods
By S.J. Sindu. Brought up to believe that his blue skin is a miracle that makes him Vishnu reincarnated, a youth in an Indian village strives to break free of the cult of personality that his domineering father has woven around him. Later, as a young man seeking his place among queer South Asian expats in New York City, he becomes an influencer for a rock band and must once more confront the tension between honesty and belonging. Legends of gender-fluid deities and heroes in Indian mythology guide his coming-of-age journey.
