This is the mathematics behind creation. One plus one makes one. Life begets life. We are the period to a sentence, the effect to a cause, always belonging to someone. We are never our own.\n\nThis is why we are so lonely.\n\nShe of the Mountains is a beautifully rendered illustrated novel by Vivek Shraya, the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist God Loves Hair. Shraya weaves a passionate, contemporary love story between a man and his body, with a re-imagining of Hindu mythology. Both narratives explore the complexities of embodiment and the damaging effects that policing gender and sexuality can have on the human heart.\n\nIllustrations are by Raymond Biesinger, whose work has appeared in such publications as The New Yorker and the New York Times.\n\nVivek Shraya is a multimedia artist, working in the mediums of music, performance, literature, and film. His most recent film, What I LOVE about Being QUEER, has been expanded to include an online project and book with contributions from around the world. He is also author of God Loves Hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arsenal Pulp Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44796702916661,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551525607","price":61.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1551525607_7ed784e0-3516-4a37-832c-48f65c0d0598.jpg?v=1781410419","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/she-of-the-mountains-9781551525600","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
