This story collection explores queer life, faith, and belonging in Indonesia and beyond. Pasaribu blends humour with pain, often subverting expectations of happiness. The stories are intimate and politically resonant. Religious and cultural tensions shape each narrative. The voice is distinctive and compassionate. A quietly radical collection.
