Whistling in the Dark: Twenty-One Queer Interviews

Whistling in the Dark : Twenty-One Queer Interviews focuses on issues like sexuality, sexual identity, marriage, gay marriage, heteronormativity, Gay Utopia, Gay Activism, Gay bashing, police atrocities and the laws vis-a-vis these. The interviewees represent a cross section of society ranging from university professors, gay rights activists and students, on the one hand, to working class men such as office boys, auto-rickshaw drivers and even undertrials  who have served prison sentences, on the other. The thought-provoking narratives in this book are the outcome of probing and incisive questions put to the respondents by the editors R. Raj Rao and Dibyajyoti Sarma. Appealing to a wide readership, the narratives go beyond the conventional and provide a rare insight into the private lives of the respondents. Besides being a must read for gay activists and organisations, the book will also be a useful resource for post-graduate students and academics working in the fields of sexuality studies, feminism and alternative literature.
