Mute's Soliloquy A Memoir

"Pramoedya dispenses with artifice. The book may seem hodgepodge and the language simple, but in fact it stands out as a piercingly vivid, extraordinarily eloquent work without being ornate. Ever aware of death, Pramoedya wants to get as close to the bone as possible so we can understand fully what happened on that remote island, an accurate symbol for the repressive Indonesian state. [A] great and passionate but clear-eyed work, shaped as much by a humanist/rationalist outlook, a writer's iron discipline and, above all, by the desire to not forget."Toer, Pramoedya Ananta is the author of 'Mute's Soliloquy A Memoir' with ISBN 9780140289046 and ISBN 0140289046.
