A romance with the background of the Darul Islam/Indonesian Islamic Army (DI/TII) rebellion in Palopo led by Kahar Muzakar. This novel won the UNESCO-IKAPI romance writing competition in 1968. The novel The Burning City of Palopo is the right novel for those of you who want to know the dynamics of modern Sulawesi, something we rarely know about because of the dominance of Java in the media. This novel was written by the people of Sulawesi and at that time, there were still very few who wrote novels in Sulawesi. Sometimes it is true that quality is much better than quantity. Although the number of novels written by Sulawesi people is still small, this novel is one of the best novels of its time.
