The English-language debut of Indonesia's rising star. The epic novel Beauty Is a Wound combines history, satire, family tragedy, legend, humor, and romance in a sweeping polyphony.

The beautiful Indo prostitute Dewi Ayu and her four daughters are beset by incest, murder, bestiality, rape, insanity, monstrosity, and the often vengeful undead. Kurniawan's gleefully grotesque hyperbole functions as a scathing critique of his young nation's troubled past: the rapacious offhand greed of colonialism; the chaotic struggle for independence; the 1965 mass murders of perhaps a million "Communists", followed by three decades of Suharto's despotic rule.

Beauty Is a Wound astonishes from its opening line: "One afternoon on a weekend in May, Dewi Ayu rose from her grave after being dead for 21 years...." Drawing on local sources - folktales and the all-night shadow puppet plays, with their bawdy wit and epic scope - and inspired by Melville and Gogol, Kurniawan's distinctive voice brings something luscious yet astringent to contemporary literature.

what in the world did I just read? why are all the women described in disgusting ways? everything is just grotesque and gross.
also there were a good 5 chapters that I didn't necessarily think needed to be included... like chapter 6 with Shodancho going to war... like why did we need to know that?
finally we get to the last chapter that tells what truly happened... ghosts, evil spirits and revenge oh my. ghosts assuming other identities... like what? I need a mm to mentally wash off all those disturbing things I read in this book.

beauty is a wound... like beauty is a curse? not sure if lost in translation?

As a woman im in my feelings that a man sat down and thought of a story in such a grotesque way but that's just me...

horrifyingly grotesque

Very interesting storyline which wandered greatly throughout the story, but did finally bring itself to a culmination of all the stories. I really enjoyed this book and the tales it told. Very well worth a read

Great story with historical context. An prostitute comes back to life to recount Indonesia's civil war

Historical fantasy

I enjoyed this audio book, though not sure I would have finished if it were not for the narrators entertaining depiction of characters and story.

Perfect balance of humour and sadness
