| I wonder what might have emerged had Hendrik Meier based his intriguing reflections on Malay narrative form and the play between writing and performance in rendering past actions not on an analysis of passages from works of colonial-era fiction, but on a history textbook, a counter-hegemonic memoir, or Ki Trisuti Rachmadi's testimony. Unlike Harlan's desire as healer, the desire to know what happened at the moment that she healed herself has much in common with more familiar forms of desire: whether it takes psychoanalytic, somatic, or narrative form, attempts to reach the object of desire are never entirely successful.
