By Michael Vatikiotis
The Painter of Lost Souls is the story of Sito, a gifted artist who leaves his village in Central Java, to make his name and fortune in Jogjakarta. Vatikiotis tells a suspenseful tale that weaves together a fascinating inside view of the art boom in Indonesia and the nation’s religious and political ferment in the 21st century, haunted by ghosts of the nation’s bloody past. Drawing on the rich color and magic of Indonesia’s cultural heartland, this imaginative story of youthful fulfillment and triumph in the face of tragedy takes the reader deep into the creative soul and harsh social realities of modern Indonesia.
