Book Synopsis

Discover the must-read, coming-of-age queer memoir about learning how to love yourself in a world that doesn't want you to.

A beautiful celebration of being different.' TOM ALLEN

An important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humour' MOHSIN ZAIDI author of A Dutiful Boy

Brilliant, spectacularly witty and genuinely moving. I loved it.' MATTHEW TODD, author of Straight Jacket

I'm just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake.

What do you do when you're too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America and you're ashamed of your body everywhere?

Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different. Other boys didn't pirouette off their desks, get bullied for their manboobs' or spontaneously burst into songs from The Little Mermaid. Other boys didn't play together like that.
