Samenvatting:

Novel Telegram (Telegram) by Putu Wijaya, published in 1973 is considered an important milestone in Indonesian literature. Its success makes the synthesis between reality and fantasy. Although it contains many elements of "mental terror" and psychological disorientation, this book is a portrait of Jakarta in the early 1970s and reflection about Bali being gripped by great social change. This novel won the first prize in the contest organized by the International Book Year in 1972.
