Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Ragam Teknologi Rumah Tradisional Tahan Gempa Nusantara Timur
Letak geografis Indonesia yang berada di zona ring of fire menyebabkan wilayah negeri ini berpotensi mengalami gempa bumi yang besar. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan kerusakan struktur tanah sehingga berpotensi labil. Akibatnya, bangunan yang berada di atasnya pun akan menjadi labil dan mengalami kerusakan struktur. Kesadaran akan hal tersebut ternyata sudah dimiliki oleh nenek-moyang bangsa Indonesia. Mereka telah memiliki kearifan lokal dalam mengembangkan teknologi yang cocok dengan kondisi tersebut sehingga struktur bangunan, terutama rumah tinggal, dapat tetap berdiri ketika terjadi gempa. Teknologi ini diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi dan terus diterapkan hingga hari ini oleh beberapa suku di Nusantara dalam membangun rumah, yang dikenal sebagai rumah adat tradisional. Kearifan lokal tersebut dapat kita lihat, antara lain, pada struktur bangunan rumah tradisional pada beberapa suku di Nusantara bagian t imur, seperti rumah tradisional Sa'o Ria, Ammu Hawu, Sonaf, dan Raja Thie di Nusa Tenggara Timur.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

FEM
This modern classic of global feminist literature, the only novel by one of Romania's most heralded poets, styled as a long letter addressed to the man who is about to leave her, a woman meanders through a cosmic retelling of her life from childhood to adulthood with visionary language and visceral, detail. Like a contemporary Scheherazade, she spins tales to hold him captivated, from the small incidents of their lives together to the intimate narrative of her relationship to womanhood. Through a dreamlike thread of strange images and passing characters, her stories invite the reader into a fantastical vision of love, loss, and femininity.

Toddler Hunting and Other Stories
An immeasurably influential female voice in post-war Japanese literature, Kono writes with a strange and disorienting beauty: her tales are marked by disquieting scenes, her characters all teetering on the brink of self-destruction. In the famous title story, the protagonist loathes young girls but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. Taeko Kono's detached gaze at these events is transfixing: What are we hunting for? And why? Kono rarely gives the reader straightforward answers, rather reflecting, subverting and examining their expectations, both of what women are capable of, and of the narrative form itself.
