Look on the Words Without Borders website (www.wordswithoutborders.org/?front=JANUARY 2009)for 'Tropical Currents' featuring women writers from Indonesia. In narratives as varied as the islands themselves, women embark on personal and professional journeys, navigating the treacherous depths of families, society, and faith to write their own stories of travel and discovery. Listen as Nenden Lilis A., Abidah El Khalieqy, Lily Yulianti Farid, Reda Gaudiamo, Dorothea Rosa Herliany, Etik Juwita, Oka Rusmini, and Cok Sawitri tell their own tales of the South Pacific. We thank our guest editors, John H. McGlynn and Dorothea Rosa Herliany, and their staff at the Lontar Foundation, particularly Dewi Andahlia. (All photos except statue by Jonathan McIntosh, 2004)
