Spaces is a novel that transforms former political prisoner Putu Oka Sukanta’s historical memory – of being imprisoned without trial from 1966 to 1976 and withstanding torture and human rights abuses – into fiction.
I have known Putu for over 30 years and know much about his life (and he mine!). I cannot read the book as fiction as there are events in the novel that I have seen with my own eyes, and conversations I have heard with my own ears.
