Family Room
A collection of short stories by Lily Yulianti Farid, which has not yet been published as a collection in Indonesian. The stories were written between 2008-2009, showing mosaic spaces in describing Indonesian family life over time. Family room is where the dark side of socio-cultural dynamics and politics are brilliantly dramatized. It is the kitchen, where women stir the dreams, fears, and political intrigue in order to stay away. And the bedroom, where the baby is born and the mother dies. In these domestic and feminine spaces, family and political ties are sharply and intensely shaped.
