Andrea Hirata Work Quotations

I am a working person. I always work, study or do research for my novel. I even work on Sunday.

I think what matters most in literary work is the context, not the text.

The decision to write full-time meant I couldn't afford to buy a house. A friend kindly offered me the use of his apartment in a thirty-six-story building full of newlywed couples in the southern area of Jakarta. I didn't like my working space at first, but the scenery and everything going on outside have worked their magic on me.
