The Book of Jakarta: A City in Short Fiction (Reading the City) - Softcover
Book 15 of 31: Reading the City
Synopsis
A group of senior citizens set out to visit an amusement park for one last suicidal ride... A wannabe influencer takes a driverless taxi through the streets of Jakarta, only to discover the destination she's hurtling towards is now underwater... A daughter despairs at her mother's wish to leave the city forever, until she uncovers the dark secret behind it... Made up of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country on the planet. It is home to hundreds of different ethnicities and languages, and a cultural identity that is therefore constantly in flux. Like the country as a whole, the capital Jakarta is a multiplicity of irreducible, unpredictable and contradictory perspectives. From down-and-out philosophers to roadside entertainers, the characters in these stories see Jakarta from all angles. Traversing different neighbourhoods and social strata, their stories capture the energy, aspirations, and ever-changing landscape of what is also the world's fastest-sinking city.
Translated by Mikael Johani, Zoe McLaughlin, Shaffira Gayatri, Khairani Barokka, Daniel Owen, Paul Agusta, Eliza Vitri Handayani, Syarafina Vidyadhana, Rara Rizal and Annie Tucker.
