An Indonesian Alphabet Rp. 125,000. When learning about a country and trying to grasp what makes the place tick, one can study the language, check out the latest local films, or travel from border to border - but there are always things that slip through the cracks,background things so familiar that local residents forget to mention them. An Indonesian Alphabet looks at some of the intriguing aspects of Indonesian culture, flora and fauna, and history that are ‘hidden in plain view.’This series of breezy, informal essays unravels 26 topics pertinent to Indonesian life, from savings clubs to jackfruit to things that go bump in the night. The information has been gathered over a 25-year stay in Indonesia – the fruit of casual conversation, travel, research, and dozens of interviews with people ranging . . . well, from A to Z. Given Indonesia’s diverse population, what’s familiar in one community might be news to another, making the insights and information contained in these essays relevant not only to outsiders, but to the hometown crowd as well. |
