Sinopsis:

You’ve heard these stories before. Or at least, you think you have.
Timun Mas and Other Deconstruction Stories of Indonesian Folktales takes the classic tales you grew up with—Timun Mas, Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih, Malin Kundang, and a few other familiar favorites—and flips them upside down, shakes them around, and adds a dash of pure nonsense. Inspired by The Stinky Cheeseman and Other Fairly Stupid Tales,
This book isn’t here to gently retell bedtime stories.
It’s here to mess with them.
What if Timun Mas didn’t just survive the giant once, but twice—only to mess up on the third try because, well, everyone gets unlucky sometimes? What if Bawang Putih, instead of being endlessly kind, actually felt jealous and decided to run away? And Malin Kundang—oh, poor Malin—what if he didn’t just turn to stone but instead transformed into Malin Kumbang, a cursed beetle.
And that’s just the beginning. Some stories will make you laugh. Some will make you question everything you knew about these folktales. And some will make you wonder, Wait, is this even allowed?
So, if you’re ready for a ridiculous, slightly rebellious, and absolutely entertaining trip through Indonesia’s most legendary stories, flip the page and get ready. Just don’t blame us if you start side-eyeing your childhood bedtime stories from now on.
