Cr�ticas:

Very striking.--Tariq Ali

Without a doubt the most original, imaginatively profound, and elegant writer of fiction in Indonesia today: its brightest and most unexpected meteorite. Pramoedya Ananta Toer has found a successor.--Benedict Anderson

A vivacious translation of a comic but emotionally powerful Indonesian novel.

Gracefully translated by Annie Tucker, the writing is evocative and muscular, with particularly spicy descriptions and some good wry humor.--Sarah Lyall

Refreshingly, Kurniawan puts value on literature as entertainment, and his books are certainly that.--Deborah Smith

An unforgettable, all-encompassing epic... Upon finishing the book, the reader will have the sense of encountering not just the history of Indonesia but its soul and spirit. This is an astounding, momentous book.

Brash, worldly and wickedly funny, Eka Kurniawan may be South-East Asia's most ambitious writer in a generation.

An epic picaresque that's equal parts Canterbury Tales and Mahabharata--exuberantly excessive and captivating. Huge ambition, abundantly realized.

As translated by Annie Tucker, Kurniawan's prose is lucid and occasionally lyrical but never showy.--Anthony Domestico

It's an astonishing, polyphonic epic, a melange of satire, grotesquerie, and allegory that incorporates everything from world history to local folk talks.--Phillip Pantuso

Rese�a del editor:

The epic novel Beauty Is a Wound combines history, satire, family tragedy, legend, humor, and romance in a sweeping polyphony. The beautiful Indo prostitute Dewi Ayu and her four daughters are beset by incest, murder, bestiality, rape, insanity, monstrosity, and the often vengeful undead. Kurniawan’s gleefully grotesque hyperbole functions as a scathing critique of his young nation’s troubled past:the rapacious offhand greed of colonialism; the chaotic struggle for independence; the 1965 mass murders of perhaps a million “Communists,” followed by three decades of Suharto’s despotic rule. Beauty Is a Wound astonishes from its opening line: One afternoon on a weekend in May, Dewi Ayu rose from her grave after being dead for twenty-one years.... Drawing on local sources—folk tales and the all-night shadow puppet plays, with their bawdy wit and epic scope—and inspired by Melville and Gogol, Kurniawan’s distinctive voice brings something luscious yet astringent to contemporary literature.
