19 Buru Island with Amarzan Loebis, a poet, senior editor of Tempo magazine, and former political prisoner in Buru Island prison camp. Moreover, she learned from Pram oedya’s experience to enrich the quality of her novel. By doing long research, Pamuntjak made her novel of Indonesian turbulence from her point of view as the author not as the former political prisoners. As a result, her writing style is different from others’ writers. She wrote the novel in 2013 in Indonesia’s reformation era. It meant everyone was free to write his or her opinion for government and PKI. It was very different from the previous era, particularly in Suharto’s era in which no one was allowed to refuse the government ’s order and discuss PKI Indonesian Communist Party or anything related to communism. Pamuntjak, therefore, was bold to write a story about Indonesian political situation in Sukarno and Suharto era. She even put some incidents and people who join group belonging to PKI. It was definitely interesting because the story about PKI was a never ending topic to discuss in Indonesia. There were many perspectives and versions.
