 | | Authors: Louis Couperus, Alexander Teixeira De Mattos, E. Beekman, and Alexander Teixeira De Mattos |
 | | This is a wonderful novel, an exploration of sexuality, colonialism, race and power in colonial Indonesia. |
 | | The book is not easy -- there is nuance and no movie version -- but Couperus brilliantly critiques the paranoia of the late Dutch empire. |
