This picture book biography in verse follows the life of beloved
Rajasthani drag performer Queen Harish, known as the Whirling
Desert Queen of Rajasthan. Lit by an inner fire and propelled by a
family tragedy, Harish defied the gender conventions of middle
class Indian life, battled discrimination and intimidation, and
eventually grew up to dance with Bollywood movie stars and on
stages across the world. Jyoti Gopal's rhythmic phrases evoke the
particular sounds and beats of the music Harish danced to, and
capture the passions and conflicts of his life. The poignant and
inspiring tale is interpreted by internationally acclaimed
Rajasthani artist Svabhu Kohli in kohl-black lines and shapes and
brilliant jewel-like colors.
