Read an article today on The Hindu about an Indonesian book by Andrea Hirata : The book was not urban, or cool, or sexy . Check it out for yourself. I have already ordered a copy online in infibeam. Will post after reading it. What's more interesting is that it has been made into a movie named "The Rainbow Troops."
To give a gyst of the book, it's about Andrea's autobiographical novel "Luskar Pelangi."
About a 15-year-old teacher, the kind of students who had to cycle 80 kilometres every day, to make it to school and set in a place that no one could identify on a map and their tryst with life and what became of them. (Belitong,Sumatra)
PS : This first post dedicated to all the authors whose words touched my life :)
