Novel Pasar tells the process of inheriting Javanese values and social change in a sub-district town. Told in a witty but full of meaning. With a socio-literary approach, perhaps this is the right term to describe this novel. A novel that portrays social changes in society. What's special is that Kuntowijoyo describes the rural setting of Java in the 1970s so clearly, the reader feels nostalgic. The background and setting of the Pasar (Market) in rural Java is described in such detail, it's like we are watching a film from the 70s in written form. In addition to the main strength in the setting and setting, the Pasar (Market) is also strong in the delivery of moral values that are conveyed in a non-patronizing manner.
