Title: Kalimantaan.
Description: NY: Henry Holt, (1998). First Edition. A highly praised first novel that recounts the British colonization of Borneo, largely from the perspective of the women who accompanied the explorers, businessmen, generals and missionaries in the early years of the colony. Interweaves historical events and characters (the protagonist of the novel was the man on whom Conrad loosely based the story of Lord Jim) with a dramatic tale grounded in the author's own experiences living in Southeast Asia. Signed by the author. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings.
