The themes of Ketut Rida's story are also very simple and feel almost without conflict. Ketut Rida's short stories seem to represent the Balinese world, wrapped with thick moral messages.

Ketut Rida's way of speaking is also very distinctive like the performance of the traditional Balinese drama, arja. Beginning with a picture of the natural atmosphere about.

The stories in this book are truly Balinese stories.

Therefore, it is not wrong if the curatorial team of Widya Pataka named I Ketut Rida's book as the recipient of the award for 2014. Widya Pataka is an annual award given by the Bali Provincial Government through the Bali Provincial Library and Archives Agency. [Ketut Jagra]
