Goenawan Mohamad: On God and Other Unfinished Things

This is a collection of Goenawan Mohamad’s aphorisms, translated by Laksmi. 

Some of these aphorisms are drawn from the leading Indonesian poet, essayist and legendary editor’s ‘thought pages’ (“Catatan Pinggir”), a decades-long weekly feature in the influential and sometimes-controversial Indonesian news magazine, Tempo.
