Waktu Itu Hujan Rintik, dan Aku Merasa Asing dan Sendiri

Stories that are sometimes linked, by a theme or by a recurring name, and sometimes break away, which the author calls a carnival of names. Steeped in the religious life and the language of Malay culture, they follow people who are not doing well amid the crowd: lonely, estranged and struggling inside, often in rain or at night. Everyday reality connects them, from family ties to killings and deaths that raise questions, but many end in mystery or the absurd, leaving the reader to wonder.
