A propos de cet article

London. 1991. Chatto & Windus. 1st British Edition. Very Good. No Dustjacket. 0701137487. 408 pages. hardcover. keywords: Asia China England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - THE REDUNDANCY OF COURAGE is a novel by Timothy Mo published in 1991. It is set in the fictitious country of Danu in Southeast Asia, which is based on East Timor, and is narrated by Adolph Ng, an ethnic Chinese businessman educated in Canada. Like East Timor, Danu is a Portuguese colony, invaded and occupied by its giant neighbour, which is not named, but is based on Indonesia. The people of the occupying country are referred to throughout the book as the malai, similar to malae' the word for foreigner in Tetum, East Timor's national language. Danu is annexed by the malai and declared their fifty-eighth province', over which their green and white flag is raised. (Indonesia declared East Timor its twenty-seventh province', and its flag is red and white. In any case, by part three of the novel Mo's description of the malai flag has changed to red and white too. Although the characters are fictional, they are closely based on people involved in events in East Timor during 1975. They include Xavier Ray X Ray' Xaneiros, based on resistance leader Xanana Gusmão (now the country's President), Joaquim Lobato, based on exiled leader Jose Ramos-Horta (later Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and now President), and Bill Mabbely, based on Australian journalist Roger East, who was killed by Indonesian troops in Dili on the day of the invasion. The date of the malai invasion of Danu, December 7, is the same as that of Indonesia's invasion of East Timor. inventory #6935.…
