Drôle de garçon

The backdrop of political unrest adds depth to the story, but I'm curious whether that was planned from the start or evolved naturally during writing.

The struggles with cultural expectations felt very real, and I wondered how much of that reflects the author's own experiences or observations.

The title 'Funny Boy' hints at humor, but the story is so emotionally intense — I’d love to know what the author hoped humor would convey here.
