Описание:

Born into a high-status family of the Batak ethnic group indigenous to North Sumatra, Sitor Situmorang (1924–2014) was a Dutch-educated Indonesian nationalist who experienced firsthand the transition from the Dutch East Indies of his youth to the modern Indonesia of his adulthood.

The stories in this collection are a window into the world of a writer dedicated to exploration and change but resolutely attached to the land, people, and stories of his homeland. Set variously in western Europe, post-independence Jakarta, and modernizing communities in his native North Sumatra, the stories live in—as the translators put it—the “perpetual tension between the urge to wander and a longing for origins."

Описание:

In this extraordinary new collection, award-winning writer Iain Baird brings to life characters as real as we are to ourselves. It is with powerful, graceful, and precise language that Baird shows us how wonderfully perilous ordinary lives can be.

The Guy in the Box, a short emotional literary fiction, captures the audience with sheer rawness that comes from the first stage of denial and having a loved one with dementia. In other selections, whether a damaged veteran reinventing himself in the alleys of the French Quarter, a Halloween prank turning tragically awry, or an aging couple making one final grasp at independence, Baird shows us what it is to be fully human. These flawed, yet majestic, unforgettable characters bring the stories to life with suspense, humor, and discovery.
