Fireflies in Manhattan

A collection of stories that represents three major stages in Umar Kayam's literary career: stories about New York; about the 1965 Communist coup that remain unmatched for their sympathy towards innocent victims; and a series of stories about Lebaran, the time of the Moslem year where those who have been away from home are feeling homesick.

O colectie de povesti care reprezinta trei etape majore din cariera literara a lui Umar Kayam: povesti despre New York; despre lovitura de stat comunista din 1965, care ramane de neegalat pentru simpatia lor fata de victimele nevinovate; si o serie de povesti despre Lebaran, perioada anului musulman in care cei care au fost plecati de acasa au dorul de casa.
