| Shrnutí: | The English translation of two novels by the Indonesian Catholic writer Sindhunata introduces his work to a wider range of readers, for many of whom his very Javanese mode of story-telling will be puzzling. The article introduces the novels, Herding the Wind and The Chinese Princess, both translated in 2015 for the Frankfurt Book Fair, and offers a wider view of Sindhunata’s diverse writing, in the context of his life as a priest, journalist and author. The article is written for those who might appreciate an introduction to an unfamiliar form of story-telling but provides references also for those readers who might wish to follow up other writings in Indonesian. |
