Faith in Writing

Rp250.000

By Goenawan Mohamad (author), Jennifer Lindsay (translator)

Goenawan Mohamad’s writing is stirring and original–a virtual sledgehammer of thought. Just as Orhan Pamuk offers his cosmopolitan view from Istanbul, Goenawan does the same from his window in Jakarta. His writing is lucid, illuminating, and timeless. Few contemporary writers possess such dexterity and immediacy or cut so cleanly with their samurai pen. Goenawan’s life spans the history of the Indonesian republic, and the depth of his involvement with Indonesian history informs his life and writing.
