Product Description Tells the tale of the building of the great temple of Borobudur in central Java and the society that collapsed after the monument was completed by focusing on Gopal, a carver involved in the project From Library Journal Pineda's first novel, Face ( LJ 4/15/85), was nominated for the American Book Award. This second novel is shaped into 120 brief chapters, giving the reader an experience parallel to that of the narrator, Gopal. Gopal is enslaved and set to work carving 120 panels in stone, each depicting a scene from the life of Buddha, to be mounted in the great temple of Borobudur in central Java. As he completes this lifelong task, his two wives disappear, depriving him of his inspiration, and he sacrifices himself to his art in an astonishing act of purification. The novel, whose tone and structure mirror the floating, dreamlike quality of Gopal's emotions and artistry, is a serious inquiry into the nature of artistic ability and expression by a remarkable writer. Recommended for libraries supporting the study of creative writing or the fine arts, as well as large fiction collections. Susan E. Parker, Harvard Law Sch .
