This paper examines the two-edged nature of queer people’sstrategies of escape through how Osman, fictionalizing his autobiography,depicts them, with his choice of characterization, plot types, motifs, symbols andlanguage use, with tropes and elements like repetition, flashback, contrast anddetailed description. And they must forever be attheir wits end to defend themselves through advocacy in order to avoid harm orpersecution. They must disguisethemselves if they want to be religious and survive. Like theprotagonists in Osman’s Fairytales for Lost Children (2013), they face troublesand subsequent rejection by their family members. The constraints that African youth go through in their attempt to optionallypursue and declare their gender/sexual orientation and identity in theirheteronormative societies is an issue that calls for critical attention.
