The Book of Invisible Questions (2026)
Author: Lala Bohang
Category: Poetry
Who? A breathing meat. Why? Some breathing meat lucky enough to understand their purpose of existence. But most of the meats have no idea why they exist in the universe. The meat who knows and the meat who doesn't know experience the same pain, uncertainty, and heartbreak, but have different points of view on everything. Where? Under the sky. On the soil. Between the air and the sea. In the arms of people who treat you badly. What? Soemthing you don't know and something you know. If you're lucky you'll find the answer but other questions will come to you soon after that. When? Not today.

"Lala's fascination with the unspoken aspects of life leads her to explore the unseen, the forbidden, the imaginary, and things that often exist only in-between. After all, most of life is lived in those in-between spaces rather than in its occasional peaks and valleys. That is why these books feel at onc deeply familiar and quietly foreign. Through her delicate interweaving of visuals and words, Lala crafts an intimate emotional landscape that continues to resonate profoundly with readers, even a decade later." —David Irianto, Coordinator for Literature, National Talent Management Program (MTN)
