I am starting to believe that that feeling is at the root of what many people mean when they talk about there being a gay sensibility in poetry and fiction.<br /><br />I also resonate to the immigrant and displacement narratives, and to feeling the same when traveling overseas and in parts of the rural USA. <br /><br />I'm a gay white man born in the USA whose earliest childhood was spent in India. (My father was a doctor who began his career overseas.) There are so many things that Mr. Mehta says here that feel like looking into a mirror.
