Summary

The follow-up to the author’s God Loves Hair, self-published by the author and re-issued by Arsenal Pulp Press this fall.The format for both God Loves Hair and She of the Mountains is the same – text interspersed with vivid, full-color illustrations. However, where God Loves Hair is primarily a book for young people, She of the Mountains is designed more for adults (although young adults will also enjoy it). It is a book that shows the complexities of love in all its guises, transcending simple categories of desire, race, and spirituality.The title of the book honors the concept of the feminine in all its forms, including the policing of feminine behavior or attraction to the feminine.There are two concurrent stories in She of the Mountains: one features the Hindu family of Shiva, Parvati, and their son Ganesh, who Shiva decapitated, then replacing his head with that of an elephant to become a supreme deity. The other is a contemporary love story about a feminine young man of Indian origin who falls in love with a white woman. The juxtaposition of these stories underscores the fluidity of bodily identity and desire.

    Best friends Shenin and Tyler didn't mean to fall in love. Though, does anyone? A friendship-turned love affair is hard enough to navigate through; throw in IEDs and gun battles, along with the separation that inevitably comes with life in the military and you're asking for trouble. This is uncharted territory for both of them; Tyler has been openly gay for years, whilst Shenin has always dated men. With the government's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, it's a path that could endanger both of their careers but realising they cannot live without each other, they take it all on to prove that love really can win.
