Synopsis: Linda Christanty's work Kuda Terbang Maria Pinto (Maria Pinto's Flying Horse) was awarded with Khatulistiwa Literary Award for Best Fiction in 2004. She returns with her stories of the world today in Rahasia Selma (Selma's Secret). This is a story about the secret of people who fight against injustice, trauma, indoctrination, myth, loneliness or something they don't even know. The story broadens our view about human and humanity to the furthest possible limit. Sapardi Djoko Damono said that he could imagine the future of Indonesia's short stories in Linda's writing. Literary critic Nirwan Dewanto said that her realism is gripping, because it's anti-didactic. Poet Sutardji Calzoum Bachri said that she writes about humanity without compromising literary under the oppression of message itself. Sandra Thibodeaux said in the preface of Terra, a bilingual anthology that the fear of an Indonesian soldier depicted in Maria Pinto's Flying Horse, had shaken her understanding about armed conflict and masculinity.
