Perempuan Yang Mengawini Keris

Perempuan Yang Mengawini Keris contains 17 short stories by Wayan Sunarta, written between 2005 and 2011.

The stories woven into this anthology emerge from a creative calling deeply rooted in local color—particularly the Balinese locality—which seems inexhaustible, like a bottomless well continuously explored by its artists, including its writers.

Most of the short stories in this collection revolve around women and their various struggles. They seek to reveal the virtuous within the vile, the honorable within the corrupt, the noble within the deceitful. All of these elements intertwine, coil, and merge—until it becomes nearly impossible to distinguish their original essence.
