	Kalimantaan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kalimantaan is the title of a novel by C.
		While she provides a brief Malay glossary as an appendix, it does not cover all the words she uses.
		In summary, while it cannot be read as history, Kalimantaan effectively evokes the fascinating and compelling flavor of James Brooke's story.

	Boston Globe Online / From the Archives / Books
		``Kalimantaan'': an incantation, a word with the power of a fetish that draws Gideon Barr, in 1838 an impoverished gentleman, seaman, and orphan, against all odds back to the savage Eden of his birth.
		Kalimantaan, as the reader of C. Godshalk's lush, sensual, and boldly intelligent first novel will learn, is Malay for the island of Borneo.
		``Kalimantaan'' follows closely the real-life history of the ``white raj'': the rise and fall of the Boone family in Sarawak as documented in their own copious writings and fictionalized most notably by their near-contemporary, Joseph Conrad.

		Kalimantaan is a story of love in all the forms it takes: maternal love, paternal love, romantic/passionate love, love for the land, love for violence, obsession.
		It is a story of love missed, and love found in the most unexpected places, set against the backdrop of a 19th century South East Asia land ruled by superstition, violence – aspects of a native culture, which manages to exert itself in various ways despite the incursion of the white men.
		In the characters of Kalimantaan, and in their actions, we see the extremes of humanity – the most brutal, and the most beautiful.

	Books: Oedipus in Borneo (The Boston Phoenix . 05-04-98)
		Kalimantaan really is full of richness and sensuality, history and adventure, beauty and tragedy; it is easily worthy of its presentation.
		Nearly 20 years in the writing, Kalimantaan is the story of a private raj established by a young Englishman on the north coast of Borneo.
		But though Kalimantaan does take place during the Victorian era (Barr has an audience with the Queen herself), and though Godshalk's prose does sometimes veer into Trollopian preciousness, the novel's sensibility is quintessentially modernist.

	Amazon.de: Kalimantaan: English Books: C. S. Godshalk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kalimantaan is a huge achievement, ambitious in scope, style, thought, historical imagination, and humor.
		Their women deliver babes through withering heat and monsoon rot like rolls from an oven, and these slough off dengue fever as if it were summer complaint.
		Yet Godshalk's tale must be read for its romance, extraordinary populace, and anatomy of colonialism, and if you give in to its lush language, it will offer you an inimitable dose of death and desire, magic and malaria dreams.

		''Kalimantaan'' unfolds over four decades, mainly in Borneo, though with vignettes of England as the central characters return to the finely evoked numbness of Victorian minor-country-house life.
		Yet C. Godshalk's knowledge that this is a human, not just a colonial, predicament amplifies the narrative from a highly accomplished novel of the contradictions of empire to a brilliantly subtle panorama of life forces played out in the face of death.
		''Kalimantaan'' is the work of a born storyteller, conveyed as much in details like the mildewed linen that falls apart along its folds in a ''strange geometry of rot'' as in the doomed, passionate attachment of a schoolmistress to an awkward, neglected young boy.

		Upon release of her debut novel Kalimantaan in 1998, award-winning short story writer C.S. Godshalk was dubbed 'the memsahib's Conrad' by the Sunday Times.
		In Kalimantaan (which incidentally means 'Island of raw sago' in the Dayak language) the story is mainly told from the perspective of Amelia, wife of Gideon Barr (the fiction version of James Brooke).
		The story of a Englishman creating a private Raj in Borneo in the latter half of the 19th century, Kalimantaan is bursting with restrained vitality and morbidity.

	North Shore Magazine
		"Kalimantaan" is the tale of one state created by an ambitious Englishman on the island of Borneo in the Malay Archipelago.
		Although Rajah Barr's life shapes the story, it is his wife, Amelia, with her complex nature who gives the novel its heart and depth.
		With her arrival in Barr's life, first as an unexpected prospect in England and then in Kalimantaan as his wife, the story gains cohesion and a sense of direction.

		Well into the exotic novel, "Kalimantaan," it occurred to me that this dreamy, evocative tale of thwarted love, grueling accomplishment, hacked-off heads and flashes of startling kindness could have begun as a homework assignment handed out at one of the convent schools Christina Soccolich Godshalk attended during her 16 years of Catholic education.
		The establishment of the White Rajahs in Kalimantaan, the ancient Malaysian name for Borneo, came alive for Godshalk through the actual letters, journals and ship logs from the mid-1800s, a study she began 20 years ago.
		Somewhere in her office she keeps a photograph of a little boy, no relation, whose expression speaks to her of the innocent vulnerability she catches so well in the character of Phil.

		Kalimantaan doesn't put characters with modern sensibilities in front of a quaint backdrop; it's a "historical" novel only in the sense that it interrogates history and historiography.
		Finding any cohesive tale here is hard work--note that Amazon.com sells a "reader's guide" to Kalimantaan.
		I don't know what to make of the fact that such an obviously talented writer did not present a cohesive story.
