Anggadi Tupa Harvesting the Storm


An Ecological Fable from West Papua by John Waromi
(original title: Anggadi Tupa Menuai Badai: Cerita Alam Tanah Papua)
English translations by Sarita Newson

The first-ever novel by a Papuan author, this story of generosity, greed,


and resilience follows the friendship of Andevavait, a tide-pool blenny;
Bohurai, a greedy toad-fish; and Anggereai, an observant striped-crab,
as they adventure amongst tidal rock-pools and upon the shore. In this
ecological parable, John Waromi shows the effects of “harvesting the
storm” and reaping the results of actions beyond our control. He sheds
light on not only the ecology of the southern Papuan coast but also the
lives of its people and their culture that has always sustained natural
diversity and maintained a balance with nature over the centuries.
