Stories from the Islands is a bilingual short story anthology featuring works by ten emerging Indonesian writers selected as part of Ubud Writers and Readers Festival 2025. These writers represent the diverse voices from Indonesia’s 17,000 islands, reflecting the richness of the nation’s ethnicities, local languages, cultures, and stories. The anthology explores the dynamics and contemporary issues shaping Indonesia today, with stories that range from local cultural themes to pressing social concerns. Through these narratives, the collection offers a vibrant and multifaceted portrait of modern Indonesia as seen through the eyes of its young writers.
