Autor: Hoshang Merchant

Hoshang Merchant inherits his moralism from his Zoroastrian grandfathers, his aestheticism from a neurotic mother and his hedonism from his father—a young widow”s heir. Trained in the West, Merchant chose to study Eastern religions during his travels; a democrat by education, he is aristocratic by instinct; an intuitive poet, he is a professor by profession. He has published many collections of poetry and is the editor of Yaarana: Gay Writing from South Asia. He lives alone in Hyderabad in a home he has made for himself where he fathers his books, his students and a young friend.
