Biography
Eka Kurniawan became the first Indonesian writer nominated for the Man Booker International Prize in 2016. Born November 28, 1975, in Indonesia, he works as both a writer and screenwriter. His dual practice across literary and cinematic forms reflects a Sagittarian restlessness—the archer's drive to explore multiple targets. As a screenwriter, he adapts and creates narratives for film. Indonesian literature historically remained underrepresented in major international literary prizes; Kurniawan's nomination marked a watershed moment for the country's literary visibility. His life-path number 7 suggests a deep investigative bent, consistent with the introspective and socially conscious tenor of contemporary Indonesian fiction.
