*Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize* A true masterpiece of narrative history showing Indonesia's epic revolution to be the great turning point of the 20th century
A story of staggering scope and drama, Revolusi is the definitive account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonisation of the modern world.
On a sunny morning in August 1945, a handful of tired people raised a homemade cotton flag and announced the birth of a new nation- Indonesia. For three and a half centuries, its people had been subject to Dutch colonial rule. It would take another four years of guerrilla warfare and resistance - the 'Revolusi' - to finally win their freedom, blazing a trail that would reshape the world.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eye-witness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck's superbly woven narrative is alive with human detail at every turn, showing Indonesia's struggle for independence to be one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century.

You will laugh and cry
Format: Kindle
Luckily, I stumbled into a link to this book on Transfeminine Review. One warning: take your eye makeup off before reading. You will laugh till you cry and that is not a good look with mascara.
The plot resembles the movie American Fiction. Pearl is an aspiring trans woman writer. Her first novel has sunk without a trace so now she is going to try something more commercial: a gay male romance with James Bond action marketed to straight women who love that kind of thing. She's even adopting a pen name as Paul Sisters, s gay man.
For a time it works. She has a publisher, Muzzle And Escutcheon is selling well and "Paul" has a fan following. Still, it's getting harder and harder to maintain her fake identity and she's having to make ever more compromises with her own identity and relationships.
One other caution. Pearl does have to deal with casual transphobia. One sequence of her doing an online chat as Paul with transphobic fans and trying not to let it get to her I foundto be particularly triggering
Good, funny, recommended

Brilliantly written
Format: Kindle
I read this in a single sitting, mesmerized. I cared about the protagonist even as she made increasingly bad and soul damaging decisions. I love love love her girlfriend and her roommate is also fun. One could argue that the humorous elements convey the dangers of being a trans woman in both publishing and life especially well. I also enjoyed the publishing scene aspects like in Yellowface. A great read. I’m now a fan!
