Obscure Indonesian writers tackle taboos on world stage
Jakarta
LITTLE-KNOWN Indonesian writers will take centre stage at the world's largest book fair this week, led by trailblazing women tackling taboos in their conservative homeland, from historic injustices to sex and religion.
Indonesia is the guest of honour at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair, the industry's biggest annual get-together for publishers, editors and writers from around the globe, with 200 titles from the country to be showcased at the five-day event starting on Wednesday.
