Sang Musafir

In the novel Sobary talks about ‘absurdity”. For him, the social world has a structure that seems to be well organised, its patterns easily recognised, its rules well defined, such as the bureaucracy; but in reality the paths of human lives do not necessarily follow strictly the lines set up by the social structure. There are paths of life that are not amenable to recognition by naked eyes and the heart, but are predominant and very determining. Sang Musafir is arranged as one integrated whole depicting the paths of life the traveler wishes to have, full of meanings, identifications, fantasies, and contemplations.
