Description

Embark on a captivating journey through continents and cultures with renowned poet and professor Hoshang Merchant as he unveils hidden secrets in his mesmerising memoir, All My Masters. In this extraordinary book, Merchant fearlessly shares his experiences, challenging societal norms and embracing a life of openness and authenticity.

Join Merchant on a remarkable adventure across the vibrant landscapes of the Middle East, Europe, the United States, and back to India. As he chronicles the indelible marks left by people and places that shaped his existence, readers will encounter well-known figures and those who have remained in the shadows until now.

Merchant combines wickedly humorous anecdotes, poetic observations, and tender reflections in his razor-sharp and profound introspection. As he labels himself a ‘homosexual Parsi, Christian by education, Hindu by culture, and Sufi by persuasion’, each identity represents a special pilgrimage, enriching the tapestry of his life.

All My Masters resounds with the resolute spirit of a man who liberated himself from societal constraints. Through his words’ exhilarating and courageous honesty, Merchant aims to empower others yearning for acceptance and self-realisation.

Prepare to be captivated by this unforgettable memoir—an exceptional testament to the convergence of countless lives within a single extraordinary existence. Immerse yourself in All My Masters and be inspired by one man’s courage to embrace every aspect of his identity.
