In this deeply intimate collection of essays, Handoko recalls each memory with haunting clarity and sharp wit. As we enter her world, Handoko invites us to peek into the keyhole of Handoko’s household in the mid-nineties as she shares some insight into what it was like growing up in the south as a first generation immigrant from Indonesia. From then on, takes us on a lucid ride through suburbia, as she reveals commemorative people and places from her adolescence. Together, these essays analyze recognizable matters of millennial misadventures with love and friendship, a volatile history with self-esteem, dabbling in the occult at slumber parties, and a continuous voyage to finding the perfect God. With the special ability to make beautiful masterpieces out of tiny moments, Handoko implores us to look at the strange (yet eerily familiar) normality of our own lives through a poetic lens in 'Girl Almighty'.
