<jats:p>Indonesian author Eka Kurniawan achieved huge critical success globally during 2015–2016 with his translated novels <jats:italic>Beauty is a wound</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Man tiger</jats:italic>, which have been praised for their sweeping historical scope, ‘magical realist’ elements, and experimentation with voice and genre. First published in the Indonesian language more than a decade earlier as <jats:italic>Cantik itu luka</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Lelaki harimau</jats:italic>, these novels initially faced a relatively lukewarm reception locally.
