Reviews
"First published in Indonesia 40 years ago, this story collection from celebrated author Darma gets a second life--and an English translation--as a Penguin Classic. Across seven stories set in the gridded streets and rented rooms of Bloomington, Ind., Darma's characters navigate their morbidly funny lives in this meditation on alienation, failed connection, and the universal strangeness of the human mind." -- The Millions "Despite his assertion that that the characters from People from Bloomington could have been drawn from any place in the world, Darma perceived, as an outsider, an emerging attitude towards the recluses on the edges of an ordinary Midwestern city. People from Bloomington feels like a report from the early days of the great American unwinding of civic responsibility and sense of interconnectedness. His characters are unsettling because they are recognizable--if not in our communities, then in ourselves. Darma doesn't let us look away." --David Kobe, The Rumpus, "First published in Indonesia 40 years ago, this story collection from celebrated author Darma gets a second life--and an English translation--as a Penguin Classic. Across seven stories set in the gridded streets and rented rooms of Bloomington, Ind., Darma's characters navigate their morbidly funny lives in this meditation on alienation, failed connection, and the universal strangeness of the human mind." -- The Millions

Synopsis
Winner of the 2023 PEN Translation Prize Winner of the 2023 NSW Premier's Translation Prize An eerie, alienating, yet comic and profoundly sympathetic short story collection about Americans in America by one of Indonesia's most prominent writers, now in an English translation for its fortieth anniversary, with a foreword by Intan Paramaditha A Penguin Classic In these seven stories of People from Bloomington , our peculiar narrators find themselves in the most peculiar of circumstances and encounter the most peculiar of people. Set in Bloomington, Indiana, where the author lived as a graduate student in the 1970s, this is far from the idyllic portrait of small-town America. Rather, sectioned into apartment units and rented rooms, and gridded by long empty streets and distances traversable only by car, it's a place where the solitary can all too easily remain solitary; where people can at once be obsessively curious about others, yet fail to form genuine connections with anyone. The characters feel their loneliness acutely and yet deliberately estrange others. Budi Darma paints a realist world portrayed through an absurdist frame, morbid and funny at the same time. For decades, Budi Darma has influenced and inspired many writers, artists, filmmakers, and readers in Indonesia, yet his stories transcend time and place. With The People from Bloomington , Budi Darma draws us to a universality recognized by readers around the world-the cruelty of life and the difficulties that people face in relating to one another while negotiating their own identities. The stories are not about "strangeness" in the sense of culture, race, and nationality. Instead, they are a statement about how everyone, regardless of nationality or race, is strange, and subject to the same tortures, suspicions, yearnings, and peculiarities of the mind., Winner of the 2023 PEN Translation Prize Winner of the 2023 NSW Premier's Translation Prize An eerie, alienating, yet comic and profoundly sympathetic short story collection about Americans in America by one of Indonesia's most prominent writers, now in an English translation for its fortieth anniversary, with a foreword by Intan Paramaditha A Penguin Classic In these seven stories of People from Bloomington , our peculiar narrators find themselves in the most peculiar of circumstances and encounter the most peculiar of people.
