Angelique Kasmara is a fiction writer born in Bandung, Indonesia. [1] Her family moved to New Zealand when she was a baby, and she grew up in West Auckland, attending Freyberg Memorial Primary School and St Dominic's College [2]. She spent two years in the 1990s working in media publishing in Jakarta, returning to New Zealand because of political unrest in Indonesia. In Auckland she has worked with refugee communities and belongs to a "Free West Papua" group. [3]
In 2016 she was awarded the Sir James Wallace Prize at the University of Auckland for best portfolio on the Master of Creative Writing programme.[4] This prize was for the first draft of her novel Isobar Precinct, and she was awarded a residency at the Michael King Writers Centre to revise and complete the book. Kasmara was shortlisted for the 2019 Text Michael Gifkins Prize for an unpublished manuscript. [5]
When the book was released by Cuba Press in 2021, Kasmara became one of the first Asian New Zealand women writers to publish a literary novel, following in the footsteps of Alison Wong, the only Asian NZ writer to win the main fiction prize at New Zealand's national book awards. [6] Like her Asian NZ contemporaries [Singh] and [Murray], Kasmara writes speculative fiction, although Isobar Precinct is grounded in a gritty contemporary Auckland. [7] It has been described as a "sparkling, stylish novel" [8] and "epic, bold and cinematic" [9]. Brian Boyd describes Kasmara as a writer with "real narrative bite, her imagery is first rate, often surprising and at times quite revelatory (and diverse in angle of attack), and the characters connect in ways that count". [10]
Kasmara has published fiction on the Newsroom site[11] and excerpts from Isobar Precinct appeared in the landmark anthologies Ko Aotearoa Tātou (Otago University Press 2020) [12] and A Clear Dawn: New Asian Voices from Aotearoa New Zealand (Auckland University Press 2021). [13] She is the editor of the University of Auckland's online literary journal, The Three Lamps. [14]
Two of her stories, “Distant Planet” and “A Bad Day for a Virgin Sail", are forthcoming in a bilingual anthology of New Zealand short fiction published in Mexico by AMETLI and Ediciones Del Lirio. Her short story "Battle Lines" will be published in the NZ Listener in January 2022.
