โฆ Synopsis
Magic, depravity, spiritual ambition, sensuality and love - The Painted Alphabet binds mythic and modern time together in a rich, slyly suggestive novel based on an old Balinese poem. In a fresh and startling picture of Bali - where witches coexist with tourists and talking animals - the novel explores a kaleidoscope of vanity, desire and the longing for goodness.
