- About the Author
-
Queer desire and religion collide in the sinews of plants, trees, and roots, traversing villages in medieval France and Spain, as well as modern parks, gardens, and conservation zones in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Olive trees, oaks, dipterocarps, kemuning, baobab, muskweed, banyan, bauhinia, jackfruit, and more, bear the wisdom of disobedience amid "island years of man-made recolonial structures".
