La traduction en anglais de deux romans de l’auteur catholique indonésien Sindhunata a permis de faire connaître son œuvre à un plus grand nombre de lecteurs, dont la plupart seront déconcertés par sa façon bien javanaise de raconter des histoires. Cet article présente les romans Herding the Wind et The Chinese Princess, tous deux traduits en 2015 à l’occasion de la foire du livre de Francfort, et offre un panorama de la variété de la production écrite de Sindhunata, dans le contexte de sa vie de prêtre, journaliste et écrivain. Cet article s’adresse à ceux intéressés par la présentation d’une forme de narration singulière, mais il livre également les références aux lecteurs qui souhaiteraient explorer d’autres textes en indonésien.
