Intan Paramadhita, who mixes fairy tales and gothic ghost stories with feminist and political issues, shakes up her readers, showing that her fiction is not beholden to a single interpretation. Her short stories reveal that the most terrifying thing in life is not one of the supernatural ghosts that populate her work, but human prejudice.
Intan Paramaditha, who was born in Bandung, is a writer and a scholar. After graduating from the University of Indonesia, she served as a lecturer in literature before going on to obtain a PhD in Film Studies at New York University. In addition to fiction, she has published academic work about cinema, gender, and sexuality.
