CULTURAL TYPOLOGY OF INDONESIA REVEALED IN PRAMOEDYA’S NOVEL
Abstract
Like Poerbatjaraka, though in a very different style, Pramoedya Ananta Toer was, and is, a rebel against the Javanese culture he imbibed as a child and young man. So far as I know, he has never published a page in the language of his childhood home; but this does not mean that Java and its culture are ever very far from his mind.
