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."
