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. This
book has been published with the support of the British Council.
