Summary
Twilight in Djakarta is published as the first volume in a new series to be issued in associated with the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Its author, Mochtar Lubis, is one of the most courageous and outspoken of Indonesia’s journalists. In this, his first novel to appear in English, he writes with lucidity and frankness of the dark side of political and social life in Djakarta. He tells of corruption in the high echelons of society, the slum life of the immigrant villagers, the intellectual circles, the activist groups and the underground world of criminals and prostitutes. His is the story of a great city in whose swirling cross-currents individual lives become the flotsam and jetsam.
The central figure is Suryono, a young man who, after a visit to New York, finds life in his own country and his post in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs unsatisfactory. He takes as mistress the young second wife of his father, the skilful financier Raden Kaslan. The other women in his life are the girl who frequents his intellectual discussion circle and whom he would like to marry, and Dahlia, prostitute as well as the wife of a minor official.
Enmeshing them all is the tangle of Indonesian politics. The chairman of the party in power, in desperate need of funds to maintain the Government, finds Raden Kaslan only too willing to devise a system for the sale of import licenses which will fill the pockets of his friends as well as the party coffers.
Although the setting is peculiarly Djakartan, the evils which Mochtar Lubis describes do not afflict Indonesia alone. The author finds much that is to be admired in his country; he criticizes only the general immorality which pervades the world of undisciplined power politics.
