Igdrasil and Other Stories

By Dinar Rahayu; Translated by Bronwyn Duke
The Lontar Foundation

Dinar Rahayu invites the reader into alien, experiential settings that explore issues of gender, sexuality and the downfalls of obsession. These stories explore the possibilities of gender role-reversals, for example in a society where men become pregnant and also intertwines the well-known allegory of the Siren, contextualizing it into outer-space to critique a researcher’s narcissism and obsession of reputation.

Dinar Rahayu (Author)

Dinar Rahayu was born in Bandung, West Java in 1971 where she works as a senior high school chemistry teacher. Her first novel, Ode for Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was published in 2003 and her collection of short-stories, "Lacrimosa" in 2009.
