When you have a foreign invasion - in this case by the Indonesian army - writers, intellectuals, newspapers and magazines are the first targets of repression.

As a writer, I've always been interested in others.

Doubts are like stains on a shirt. I like shirts with stains, because when I'm given a shirt that's too clean, one that's completely white, I immediately start having doubts.

Ini adalah tugas para intelektual dan penulis untuk meragukan kesempurnaan.

I live quietly at home among my family and friends.

I claim the right to take a stand once in a while.

The most important basis of any novel is wanting to be someone else, and this means creating a character.

An intellectual is going to have doubts, for example, about a fundamentalist religious doctrine that admits no doubt, about an imposed political system that allows no doubt, about a perfect aesthetic that has no room for doubt.

It's very useful when politicians have doubts because there are so many choices to be made in the world.
