LONG
Hitchhike to Kilometer 0
Ildefons collects stones and girls. Tired of his life in familiar Europe, he sets off for tropical Indonesia, where exotic adventures, wild parties and a parade of untouched girls await him. A spoonful of black magic, an army of talking cats and a best friend whose only goal is to disrupt the harmony of peaceful Yogyakarta can, however, turn paradise into nightmare in the blink of an eye. A truth that Mirza is all too familiar with.

The Jungle Book of Adult Life
If you think surviving your twenties is complicated, then try facing that same challenge in Indonesia. From explaining what you want in a hair salon to obtaining a morning after pill, from scoring booze in a country that is notoriously alcohol-free to maintaining a relationship if you’re not even allowed to sleep in each other’s houses – in the biggest Muslim country in the world, every step into adulthood is a mountain to conquer. In this non-fiction work, collecting essays and articles about growing up and falling in love in Indonesia, the country is the hero and the villain in a blooming ménage à trois.
