- Summary:
- Born in Holland of East Indian descent, Jan Boon's two pseudonyms corresponded to his two different writerly incarnations. As Tjalie Robinson, the journalist and activist, Boon worked to preserve the distinctive Indo-Dutch ("Indo") culture in the Dutch East Indies. As Vincent Mahieu, he wrote the stories collected in this anthology, unique and engaging stories about the Indos with whom he grew up in the colonial society of the Indies.
