520    ""After half a century," writes renowned Indonesia scholar
       Benedict Anderson, "Pramaoedya Ananta Toer has found a 
       successor." Eka Kurniawan has been described as the 
       "brightest meteorite" in Indonesia's new literary 
       firmament, the author of two remarkable novels whose sheer
       beauty, elegance, cosmopolitanism, and ambition have 
       brought comparisons not only to Pramaoedya, universally 
       considered Indonesia's modern literary genius, but also to
       Salman Rushdie, Gabriel García Marquez, and Mark 
       Twain.  A new generation of young literary figures in 
       Indonesia, emerging after decades of repressive 
       dictatorship ended in 1998, is renewing the culture of the
       world's largest Muslim nation (and its language, which was
       only nationally instituted in 1945). Kurniawan's Beauty Is
       a Wound and Man Tiger are the capstones of this movement. 
       A slim, wry story set in an unnamed town near the Indian 
       Ocean, Man Tiger tells the story of two interlinked and 
       tormented families, and of Margio, an ordinary half-city, 
       half-rural youngster who also happens to be half-man, half
       -supernatural female white tiger (in many parts of 
       Indonesia, magical tigers protect good villages and 
       families).  At once elegant and bawdy, experimental and 
       political, Man Tiger will help to establish Indonesia's 
       new voice, underrepresented in world literature, while 
       demonstrating the influence of world literature on 
       Indonesian writers"--|cProvided by publisher
