A conversation with Intan Paramaditha
Host: Marianna Lis
Not every migration is caused by a need, nor is it unpleasant. Sometimes we decide to leave because we feel bad in our family home or simply because we need to change our surroundings. Some need to constantly be on the move to find inner peace. Intan Paramaditha tells the story of wandering, which is not due to the necessity, but a choice – not an obvious one, but a choice nonetheless. To embark on the journey, one needs self-awareness, courage and determination. Intan's novel was built in such a way as to evoke a sense of agency in readers in an engaging way. Reading it is supposed to be an adventure that can completely change the way we think about ourselves and reality. And the best part is that it is impossible to predict (either in literature or in life) how it will all end.
