Review: Queer Indonesians’ constant search for home and belonging – Inside Indonesia
Gentlemen Prefer Asians: Tales of Gay Indonesians
Yuska Lutfi Tuanakotta
The author, a gay Indonesian who feels he is “not much of a looker,” immigrates to the USA and is inundated with shirtless joggers, same-sex public displays of affection, and the constant drive to psychoanalyze. In this poignant, witty, flippant, and trenchant collection of personal essays the author recounts his and two friends’ paths to cross-cultural gay marriage and adjusting to very new lives in the USA.

Supernova: The Knight, The Princess and the Falling Star presents a series of intertwined and unconventional love stories, straight and gay, with a bit of science and spirituality added to the mix. The major characters are young, urban, and technologically highly aware. They are caught up in major forms of contemporary social conflict.The work has been highly acclaimed. The poet Taufiq Ismail has written: “A renewal has taken place in Indonesian literature over the past decade. Supernova is an intelligent, unique and truly exciting exploration of science, spirituality and the nature of love.” The literary critic Jacob Soemardjo suggests: “This is an attractive novel by a young writer. It is an intellectual work in the form of a work of pop art, set in the real world. It opposes old values with new ways of understanding, so that readers can see the world in a different way.”
