Biography


In English

I Gusti Ngurah Putu Wijaya or better known as Putu Wijaya, is an Indonesian literary icon from Bali, who has produced approximately 30 novels, 40 drama scripts, about a thousand poems, hundreds of essays, freelance articles, and drama criticism. Putu Wijaya also writes screenplays for films and soap operas.

Putu himself is actually the youngest of five siblings. He lives in a large housing complex, which houses about 200 people, whose family members are all near and far, and have a habit of reading. The humanist with his white pet hat was expected to become a doctor by his father, I Gusti Ngurah Raka, a retired courtier who was strict in educating children. However, Putu is more familiar with the world of literature, language, and earth science. Putu's first short story entitled "Etsa" was published in the Indonesian daily Suluh, Bali.

The first drama Putu played was when he was in high school. Putu directed and played the drama himself with the group he founded in Yogyakarta. After 7 years in Yogyakarta, he then moved to Jakarta and joined Teater Kecil. Next with the Mandiri Theater which was founded in 1971, with the concept of "Starting from What's Existing".

Putu's style of writing novels is not much different from his style of writing drama. As in his drama works, in his novels he tends to use an objective style in the center of the story and a style that is full of fragments of events that are dense, intense in choice, and expressive language. Putu is more concerned with reflection than history.

A fan of dangdut, rock, classical music by Bach or Vivaldi, and jazz, he writes and directs films, soap operas, and theatre. Putu has performed dozens of plays at home and abroad and has won dozens of awards for his literary works.

In Indonesian

I Gusti Ngurah Putu Wijaya atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Putu Wijaya merupakan budayawan sastra Indonesia asal Bali, yang telah menghasilkan kurang lebih 30 novel, 40 naskah drama, sekitar seribu cerpen, ratusan esai, artikel lepas, dan kritik drama. Putu Wijaya juga menulis skenario film dan sinetron.

Putu sendiri sebenarnya adalah bungsu dari lima bersaudara seayah maupun dari tiga bersaudara seibu. Ia tinggal di kompleks perumahan besar, yang dihuni sekitar 200 orang, yang semua anggota keluarganya dekat dan jauh, dan punya kebiasaan membaca. Budayawan yang khas dengan topi pet putihnya ini semula diharapkan bisa menjadi dokter oleh ayahnya, I Gusti Ngurah Raka, seorang pensiunan punggawa yang keras dalam mendidik anak. Namun Putu ternyata lebih akrab dengan dunia sastra, bahasa, dan ilmu bumi. Cerpen pertama Putu yang berjudul "Etsa" dimuat di harian Suluh Indonesia, Bali.

Drama pertama yang Putu mainkan adalah ketika ia masih SMA. Drama tersebut Putu sutradarai dan mainkan sendiri dengan kelompok yang didirikannya di Yogyakarta. Setelah 7 tahun di Yogyakarta, ia kemudian pindah ke Jakarta dan bergabung dengan Teater Kecil. Selanjutnya dengan Teater Mandiri yang didirikan pada tahun 1971, dengan konsep "Bertolak dari Yang Ada".

Gaya Putu menulis novel tidak berbeda jauh dengan gayanya menulis drama. Seperti dalam karya dramanya, dalam novelnya pun ia cenderung menggunakan gaya objektif dalam pusat pengisahan dan gaya yang penuh dengan potongan-potongan kejadian yang padat, intens dalam pelukisan, dan bahasanya ekspresif. Putu lebih mementingkan perenungan ketimbang riwayat.

Penggemar musik dangdut, rock, klasik karya Bach atau Vivaldi dan jazz ini total dalam menulis, menyutradarai film dan sinetron, serta berteater. Bersama teater itu, Putu telah mementaskan puluhan lakon di dalam maupun di luar negeri. Bahkan puluhan penghargaan diraih atas karya sastra tersebut.
