Review: 'O' a dangerous tale on The Law of the Jungle
Animal-human relations in literature are fairly common. From modern stories about a person’s experience with their pet to the classics White Fang, The Call of the Wild and Tarzan. Eka Kurniawan, who just won the inaugural World Readers Award 2016 for Beauty is A Wound, has followed suit in his recently launched book, O.Kurniawan has worked his way up the literary ladder in recent years. Lelaki Harimau (Man Tiger) was on the long list for the Man Booker Award 2016 and has been translated into English, French and Korean (the latter will be released next year). Aside from Man Tiger and O, Kurniawan’s first famous book was Cantik Itu Luka (Beauty is A Wound).
