Kalimantaan: A Novel by C. S. Godshalk A hundred and fifty years ago a young Englishman founded a private raj on the coast of Borneo. The world that resulted, boasting stone quays, great swaths of lawn, three Christian churches and musical levees, eventually encompassed a territory the size of England, its expansion campaigns paid for by the opportunity to take human heads. This is the story of Victorian social mores superimposed on one of the most violent cultures on earth, of odd pockets of tenderness amid extreme brutality, and of remarkable tribe of fugitives, missionaries and romantics drawn to this remote outpost of the world. The deeper story resides in the realm of the heart. It is about love in absurd conditions, the tenacity of it as well as our ability to miss it repeatedly and with perverse genius. In the end, it is about love enduring when nothing else is left.
