Ini ide yang sangat menarik. Sebuah blog koleksi buku Pram dan artikel tentang sastrawan legendaris. Akan sangat bermanfaat jika benar-benar menjadi kumpulan koleksi semua karya Pram dan segala hal yang berkaitan dengannya, baik berupa news, video, events dsb...
p.a.t. museum sementara ini hanya berisi resensi buku dan artikel dalam bahasa Inggris. Sedangkan edisi bahasa Indonesia ada di blog terpisah: Bumi Manusia.
Ini sedikit cuplikan dari A Chat with .... :
Q: Are you working on a book now?
A: Yes, on one called The Originator, a nonfiction work on the crusading journalist on whom Minke was modeled, Tirto Adhisurjo.
The Dutch exiled him to the island of Molucca. His widow's family sent me many important documents that shed light on his life, but government security forces stole them from me and I've never seen them again.
Q: General Suharto's predecessor Sukarno, lndonesia's first leader, also imprisoned you, though briefly. Why was that?
A: That government didn't like the way I championed the rights of our Chinese minority.
I admired and studied the awakening of the Chinese nationalist movement in the early 1900s. Indonesians were inspired by the Chinese movement's principles of social justice and internationalism as expressed in the writings of Sun Yat-sen.
The Chinese characters who arise in my stories are symbolic of that influence. I try to show history being played out by what my characters say and do. I first learned of what the young Chinese who came to Indonesia were like from my mother.
