Bakat Menggonggong

A talkative, know-it-all, cynical and at times unreliable storyteller leads the reader through these stories. He frames moments that range from domestic trouble to show business, banking and life-or-death situations at war, and seems to switch storytelling techniques mostly to amuse himself. In one piece he mourns his friend Rik, a good writer, a kind man and a fool, who died of fluid in his lungs two years sooner than the narrator had expected, without anyone ever paying him any attention.
