Semua Ikan di Langit

“An experimental piece of poetic prose. The casual, musical, and at times bitter narration makes this novel merge the sweet and the sour at the same time.”—Jakarta Arts Council Novel Writing Contest 2016 Panel of Judges

Everything seems mundane in the world of a white-collar worker—my mundane desk job includes going to various mundane spots on repeat, being stepped on by mundane sweaty feet, listening to mundane random sounds—but I quite like it.

I enjoy the friendly visits of humans and cockroaches and rats and bugs. I enjoy the backpacks left ajar, people dully flipping through pages of books, resounding earworms, or even a crime or two throughout my mundane route to Dipatiukur-Leuwipanjang. But that is before the time travels, space stations and stars. That is before HIM.
