The epic novel Beauty Is a Wound combines history, satire, family tragedy, legend, humor, and romance in a sweeping polyphony. The beautiful Indo prostitute Dewi Ayu and her four daughters are beset by incest, murder, bestiality, rape, insanity, monstrosity, and the often vengeful undead. Kurniawan's gleefully grotesque hyperbole functions as a scathing critique of his young nation's troubled past: the rapacious offhand greed of colonialism; the chaotic struggle for independence; the 1965 mass murders of perhaps a million "Communists," followed by three decades of Suharto's despotic rule.
Beauty Is a Wound astonishes from its opening line: "One afternoon on a weekend in May, Dewi Ayu rose from her grave after being dead for twenty-one years…" Drawing on local sources—folk tales and the all-night shadow puppet plays, with their bawdy wit and epic scope—and inspired by Melville and Gogol, Kurniawan's distinctive voice brings something luscious yet astringent to contemporary literature.
Eka Kurniawan was born in Tasikmalaya in 1975 and completed his studies in the Faculty of Philosophy at Gadjah Mada University. He has been described as the “brightest meteorite” in Indonesia’s new literary firmament, the author of two remarkable novels which have brought comparisons to Salman Rushdie, Gabriel García Márquez and Mark Twain; the English translations of these novels were both published in 2015—Man Tiger by Verso Books, and Beauty is a Wound by New Directions in North America and Text Publishing in Australia. Kurniawan has also written movie scripts, a graphic novel, essays on literature and two collections of short stories. He currently resides in Jakarta.
算得上一部很好看的小說,各種神話,尺度大以及匪夷所思的故事……作者講故事駕輕就熟,印象最深的是在不同的時間當中穿梭來迴,有時一句話就跨越瞭幾十年。 不過,全都是flat characters,完全無法真正與人物感同身受。靠尺度吸引人讀下去,最後把一切上升到愛,復仇,和美,聽起來很厲害的樣子,但是閤上書之後完全感受不到。“pornography”倒是一個簡單粗暴又直接的歸類。 另外看完想去印尼旅遊瞭……

評分Consist of many love stories and legends which loaded with pornography, and mingled with sections of Indonesian history. Kangen Cilacap, udah tiga tahun disana, itu lebih seperti rumahku. Kangen matabak, kangen Puwerkerto, kangen Nova.
