The Year Of Living Dangerously by Christopher Koch
Set against the backdrop of political turmoil in 1965 Indonesia, the story follows Guy Hamilton, an ambitious Australian journalist, as he navigates the complexities of a nation on the brink of revolution. His journey is marked by intense personal and professional challenges, including a passionate affair with Jill Bryant, a British embassy assistant, and a deepening friendship with Billy Kwan, a charismatic and enigmatic Chinese-Australian photographer. As tensions rise and the country teeters on the edge of chaos, Guy is forced to confront his own moral compass and the ethical dilemmas of reporting in a volatile environment.
