The Book of Jakarta

Despite being the world’s fourth largest nation – made up of over 17,000 islands – very little of Indonesian history and contemporary politics are known to outsiders.

Menagerie 7
This volume of Menagerie brings together, under one cover, twenty stories by or about "people like us" Indonesian gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons. This is a book that should have come out (pun intended) a long time ago. Not only do the stories herein disprove the persistent but baseless myth that all forms of sexuality and sexual behavior that fall outside the norm of accepted heterosexual behavior (wherein the man is always on top and the woman always on the bottom) are not, somehow, "Indonesian," they also show that the Indonesian archipelago is as multi-sexual as it is.

Encyclopedia of the Novel
The Encyclopedia of the Novel is the first reference book that focuses on the development of the novel throughout the world. Entries on individual writers assess the place of that writer within the development of the novel form, explaining why and in exactly what ways that writer is importnant. Similarly, an entry on an individual novel discusses the importance of that novel not only form, analyzing the particular innovations that novel has introduced and the ways in which it has influenced the subsequent course of the genre. A wide range of topic entries explore the history, criticism, theory, production, dissemination and reception of the novel. A very important component of the Encyclopedia of the Novel is its long surveys of development of the novel in various regions of the world.
