Kitchen Curse is a collection of 16 very short stories that will keep you enthralled with the sheer audacity that brims forth in them. The first story ‘Graffiti in the Toilet’ stays true to its name and takes readers through a war of words on the walls of a toilet but read deeper and one makes out the political undercurrents bursting behind the words written by young people and how they look at ‘the revolutions’ in Indonesia.
The stories in this collection tell you how powerful it is when people tell their own stories: there is no way an outsider can take readers to the stories of mythical proportions, with its undertones of socio political undercurrents and mentions of certain historical periods in Indonesia. Reading Kurniawan and the world he creates with his stories is like peeling off subtle layers that one might just not be able to see or recognize.
