Transcription
Early life
Kurniawan was born in Tasikmalaya, West Java, and grew up in a small coastal town, Pangandaran. He studied philosophy at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. Kurniawan currently lives in Jakarta.[3] He writes novels, short stories, movie scripts, and blog, as well as essays. His works are translated into more than 24 languages.
Career
His novel Beauty Is a Wound was included in the list of 100 notable books by The New York Times.[4] The use of magic realism in the book has led to comparisons to Gabriel García Márquez. Kurniawan has insisted that Beauty Is a Wound is neither a historical novel nor a book about Indonesian history. Kurniawan's style of "approaching social concerns at an angle rather than head-on, with hefty doses of surrealism and wry humour" also draws comparisons to Haruki Murakami.[5] He has been described as "Indonesia’s finest writer since Pramoedya Ananta Toer"[6] and "Indonesia's most exciting author."[7]
In 2016, Palari Films announced a film adaptation of Kurniawan's book Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash to be directed by Edwin, who would also co-write the screenplay with Kurniawan.[8] The film was expected to get a 2021 release.[9]
Personal life
Kurniawan is married to fellow writer and screenwriter Ratih Kumala.
