Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The aim he set himself, to document the most important works of the post-coup decade, is by no means an easy one. [...]he includes all branches of the literary arts, featuring poets, essayists, novelists, short-story writers and dramatists in the impressive line-up, drawing on selected pieces to highlight each artist's capabilities. Ajip draws together all these sources into a neat package, a welcome aid for observers of Indonesian literature, more especially those living outside the country. Since the anthology constitutes a valuable step forward in the study of Indonesian literature, one is thankful that the production quality of the book is such a credit. Not only is the subject of each picture described in detail, but often even the names of the artists and their family relations are added. [...]the author explains the purpose of the paintings and. the circumstances in which they were made. [...]Prof. Oesch undertook the task of editing the manuscripts, a task the magnitude of which may be comprehended by reading through the main body of the book, which consists of hundreds of transcriptions of music lontars.
