My Dream Job - Norman Erikson Pasaribu - diskuze

my life is the afterlife / From the author of Happy Stories, Mostly and Sergius Seeks Bacchus. Their first work originally written in English. My Dream Job is a tender playground of intellect and wit where entire worlds collide: the English and Toba Batak languages; Christian and Batak mythology; colonial violence past and present. In a voice playful, daring and not pursuing legibility above all else, Pasaribu writes the ultimate eulogy for a postcolonial dream. ''Norman Erikson Pasaribu''s collection inverts then rotates the condition of memory to emanate carefree, surreal logics.'' -- Bhanu Kapil. ''This is a book which simmers with a defiant rage, all the while offering the reader palpable moments of tenderness, or something akin to hope.'' -- Mary Jean Chan, author of Fleche.
