Book Launch | Malam Seribu Jahanam

In 1991, Hajjah Victoria binti Haji Tjek Sun predicted the fates of her three grandchildren: one of them would become a traveler, the other one would take care of the family and the other one would be a traitor. Malam Seribu Jahanam (A Night of 1,000 Traitors) is Intan Paramaditha’s second novel. Inspired by Islamic and archipelagic myths, this novel is a dark fairytale about regrets, shame, and ghosts – a reflection on religious practices, the breakdown and the fall of the middle class, and the fragility of familial bonds.

Di tahun 1991, Hajjah Victoria binti Haji Tjek Sun meramal ketiga cucunya: satu cucu berkelana, satu menjaga, dan satu lagi menjadi pengantin. Malam Seribu Jahanam adalah novel kedua dari Intan Paramaditha. Mengolah kisah-kisah islami dan mitos nusantara, novel ini merupakan dongeng gelap tentang sesal, malu, dan hantu—sebuah renungan tentang praktik beragama, retakan dan reruntuhan kelas menengah, serta rapuhnya persaudaraan.
