Who saw the jaguar by the lake? Who saw grass grow on the bones of the living? ---Nathalie Handal, Love and Strange Horses
This is Shatha Almutawa, Director of Kutubna Cultural Centre's favourite, as she finds it lovely. She also finds the opening of Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananda Toer’s This Earth of Mankind, particulatly enchanting. Explaining further, she says, "It is an important work set during the Dutch colonial period and it deals with the injustices of this period. Toer wrote this novel while imprisoned and enduring hard labor and near starvation. In fact, he spent most of his adult life in prison, and wrote many of his books there, with or without pen and paper."
