Reviews

Mrazek's book, which is a continuation of his research that began in the 1990s, turned out to be an excellent commentary on what I observed during each of the performances I watched at that time-- it shows how wayang found its place in radios, cassette players, television sets, laptops and mobile phones of modern Indonesians. --Marianna Lis and Ward Keeler SOJOURN Wayang & Its Doubles is without a doubt a brilliant book and this review can only suggest the depth and richness of Mrazek's study. It is a wonderful and witty read, a valuable addition to the body of scholarly knowledge of wayang, and a must-read for anyone interested in wayang. --Sadiah Boonstra Bijdragen tot de taal-, land- en volkenkunde
