Haji Syiah & Other Stories
Ben Sohib's stories, often set in Jakarta and with their panoramic backdrop of urban Muslim life, contain fierce criticism against religious radicalism and serve to admonish people who lightly use religious arguments to justify their actions. The author delivers his criticism in a light-hearted manner, making his stories the stuff of dark humor.
Becoming Arab
Becoming Arab explores how a long history of inter-Asian interaction fared in the face of nineteenth-century racial categorisation and control.
The Book of Jakarta
A young woman takes a driverless taxi through the streets of Jakarta, only to discover that the destination she is hurtling towards is now entirely submerged... A group of elderly women visit a famous amusement park for one last ride, but things don’t go quite according to plan... The day before her wedding, a bride risks everything to meet her former lover at their favourite seafood restaurant on the other side of the tracks... Despite being the world’s fourth largest nation – made up of over 17,000 islands – very little of Indonesian history and contemporary politics are known to outsiders.

The Book of Reykjavik
Reluctant to observe a new family tradition, a boy finds himself stranded outside a graveyard on the night before Christmas... Three farming brothers, forced to relocate to the city by poor harvests, discover an unexpected demand for their green-fingered talents... Residents of a new apartment block are woken in the early hours by the eerie sound of a table saw that once operated on the building’s grounds... Iceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past, to its claim today of being home to more writers, more published books and more avid readers, per head, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city), Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for th...
The Book of Barcelona
A slighted wife escapes her wealthy family for the evening and stumbles into the city's red-light district... The head of security at Barcelona's container port searches for a figure that only he has seen sneak in... An elderly woman brings home a machine that will turn her body into atoms, so she can leave behind a city that is no longer recognisable... Historically, Barcelona is a city of resistance and independence; a focal point for Catalan identity, as well as the capital of Spanish republicanism. Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and mountains, this burgeoning city has also been home to some of the greatest names in modern art and architecture, and attracts visitors and migrants from all over the world. As a result, the city is a melting-pot of cultures, and the stories gathered here offer a miscellany of form and genre, fittingly reminiscent of one of Gaudi's mosaics. From the boy-giant outgrowing his cramped flat on the city's outskirts, to the love affair that begins in a launderette, we meet characters who are reclaiming the independence of their city by challenging common misconceptions and telling its myriad truths.

Hikayat The Da Peci Code
Andai saja Rosid mau mencukur rambut kribonya yang segede gunung itu, pastilah rumah Mansur Al-Gibran tak selalu diwarnai percekcokan. Bayangkan saja, betapa malunya Mansur jika Rosid harus menghadiri acara keluarga Al Gibran tanpa mengenakan peci putih yang telah berabad-abad menjadi tradisi leluhur keluarga besar Al Gibran. Dia yakin, di belakangnya para kerabat mencibir ulah Rosid. Rasanya Mansur sudah gagal mendidik anak. Tidak, Mansur harus bisa mengembalikan Rosid ke jalan yang benar, ke tradisi yang selama ini dijunjung tinggi oleh para leluhur Al Gibran. Mansur punya gagasan yang pasti cespleng! Berhasilkah Mansur dengan gagasannya itu? Sementara itu, Rosid tetap berkeras dengan rambut kribo dan keyakinannya. Mansur pun tak habis akal. Masih ada seribu cara di kepalanya. Apakah Rosid akan mengalah? [Mizan, Bentang Pustaka, Kisah, Komedi, Film, Indonesia]
