Malam Seribu Jahanam by Intan Paramaditha is, just like its English title will be, one hell of a book. Social/class issue, gender issue, religious issue all in one, fragmented story that will blow you up. Coming soon in English translation from Europa Edition.

I have to sadly say that, despite being one of the most renowned, influential women writers in Indonesia, I've never read NH. Dini before. Glad I won this short story collection from a giveaway. Time to dive into her writings.

I know my review cannot do the book justice, but here's my thoughts on Intan Paramaditha's second novel, Malam Seribu Jahanam.

Malam Seribu Jahanam
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Malam Seribu Jahanam, Intan Paramaditha’s second novel after the cri…

Just posted a new review on my blog. A brief (and hopefully compact) thought on Mochtar Lubis' Jalan Tak Ada Ujung (A Road with No End).

Been on my shelf for ages and am currently reading it. Quite fascinating so far, except for its sexist voice.

The second book I finished this year.

At the end (NOT of the road), who's the coward and who's the brave one?

I like how Mochtar Lubis portrays Fatimah's character. She can cheat on her husband if she wants to, but she chooses otherwise. Not because she's a religious or holier-than-thou kind of person, but because she's a highly principled woman.
