Description
The Wandering by Intan Paramaditha is a novel about the complexities of global nomadism and the choices that shape our lives. A young English teacher in Jakarta makes a Faustian pact with a mysterious figure, giving her the freedom to travel anywhere she desires.
With a pair of red shoes as her guide, she embarks on a journey that takes her to various destinations around the world. Along the way, she encounters numerous travellers with their own stories to tell, and the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur. As the story unfolds, Paramaditha explores themes of politics, privilege, desire, freedom, and the limitations of choice.
This thought-provoking novel is a playful experiment that turns traditional adventure stories on their head, reminding us that borders are real while also celebrating the power of human connection and the complexities of global identity.
