Stories about the lives of ordinary, hard-pressed Indonesians, in which the author also explains how some of them came to be written, often from wild imagination first, with a justification found afterwards. One tells of a woman so desperate that she nearly takes her own life, and has kept readers asking whether it really happened. Another, prompted by a newspaper report, makes the reader a witness to a theft in which the thief is said to have swallowed what he stole, then turns that certainty on its head once the questioning begins.
