Spanning decades and diasporas, Madeleine Thien’s stories “remind us what fiction can do” (New Statesman).

Novel  Launch LAUT BERCERITA, by Leila S.Chudori
After launching “Pulang” (Home) last 2012 that became the winner of Khatulistiwa Literray Award in 2013, this is Leila’s second novel on the events preceding to the 1998 Reformation. It is a story about the loss felt by families and friends  who disappeared;  whose chests feel empty with the search for answers. It’s a story of activists who were kidnapped and never came back, and of betrayal and torture by those for whom power is more valuable than lives
