Blue Boy by Rakesh Satyal6/20/2023 Playing with dolls, choosing ballet over basketball, taking the annual talent show way too seriously.the very things that make Kiran who he is also make him the star of his own personal freak show. Cincinnati in the early 1990s isn’t exactly a hotbed of cultural diversity, and Kiran’s not-so-well-kept secrets don’t endear him to any group. They reject him at every turn, and his cretinous public schoolmates are no better. If only Kiran had anything in common with the other Indian kids besides the color of his skin. A boy who doesn't quite understand his lot-until he realizes he's a god.Īs an only son, Kiran has obligations-to excel in his studies, to honor the deities, to find a nice Indian girl, and, above all, to make his mother and father proud-standard stuff for a boy of his background. Summary: Meet Kiran Sharma: lover of music, dance, and all things sensual son of immigrants, social outcast, spiritual seeker.
