Two Women in One House and other Stories
By Cyntha Hariadi; Translated by Pamela Allen
The Lontar Foundation
This collection of short stories portray quite melancholy and devastating events in which Cyntha’s plaintive, unglorified descriptions make these stories of loss all the more poignant. These stories focus predominantly on the experience of being a woman, exploring issues of domestic violence, racism, sexual objectification and jealousy.
