Growing Stronger

This book is divided into two parts according to the students’ current interests: the coming-of-age story and horror/ thriller story. The fi rst part contains stories inspired by Bildungsroman, or novel of development, whereas the second part channels the students’ interest in horror stories, and showcases their early attempt at writing a Gothic fi ction. Bildungsroman is a literary genre focusing on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist. In this genre, the protagonist experiences an epiphany, or a sudden realization that changed their view of themselves or the social norms around them. Much lauded Western Bildungsroman are James Joyce’s Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and the lesser-known John McGahern’s The Dark, where each of the protagonists liberates themselves from religious and familial bonds.

Buried Histories

In 1965–66, army-organized massacres claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of supporters of the Communist Party of Indonesia. Very few of these atrocities have been studied in any detail, and answers to basic questions remain unclear. What was the relationship between the army and civilian militias? How could the perpetrators come to view unarmed individuals as dangerous enemies of the nation? Why did Communist Party supporters, who numbered in the millions, not resist? Drawing upon years of research and interviews with survivors, Buried Histories is an impressive contribution to the literature on genocide and mass atrocity, crucially addressing the topics of media, military organization, economic interests, and resistance.
