Makassar Reef - Alexander Buzo

East meets west in this subtle romantic comedy when a handful of tourists and adventurers converge on the ruins of the old Indonesian port. Our popular interpreter of Australian language and mores this time moves away from satire to examine at a deeper level the ennui and alienation behind the laughter. An authoritative introduction to the setting has been provided by Frank Palmos, an Indonesian correspondent for the western press and interpreter for the president and his ministers during the Sukarno era.
