Description(s)
In Bali, it is said that harmony rests on the coexistence of opposites. The relationship between Barrel and Supatmiati should have been very harmonious as these two had so little in common… He, a sentimental and rather naive Frenchman seeking love on the Island of the Gods, and she, a Javanese beauty of modest origin who came to try her luck on this land of all possibilities, had plans to live together in Paris. Unfortunately, the young woman’s body was found lifeless at the foot of the cliffs near the Uluwatu temple. The investigation by Iskandar Sawidra, the all-powerful Inspector General of Police, quickly points to a murder with Barrel as the prime suspect. Immediately, a tug-of-war between the two men begins. Journalist, editor, and novelist, former bassist of the rock band Mome Rath, Éric Buvelot has been living and writing in Indonesia since 1995. Éric Buvelot is also the author of “Bali, 50 Years of Changes – A Conversation with Jean Couteau.” With “Murder in Uluwatu,” Éric brings us back to a bygone era, the one before the Internet and smartphones, the era of pirate audio cassette stores, two-stroke engine bebeks sputtering in a bluish cloud, small laundry-fax-pizzerias, Suzuki Jimny (real rolling wrecks), and Wartel for making collect calls home!
