Ratih Kumala is a graduate of the English Department at the <a href=\"http:\/\/uns.ac.id\/id\/?s=fib\">Faculty of Cultural Studies (FIB) UNS<\/a>, class of 1999. She has gained national recognition in the world of Indonesian literature. More than a prolific author, she is an inspiring figure who proves that passion and perseverance lead to lasting success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Discipline and Consistency: Keys to Literary Success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renowned Indonesian author Ratih Kumala wrote the acclaimed novels <em>Tabula Rasa<\/em> and <em>Gadis Kretek<\/em>. She recently shared her journey in an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/uns.ac.id\/\">uns.ac.id<\/a> on Monday (21\/4\/2025). She discussed her literary projects and the process that fuels her creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m working on several projects. Two film scripts are in progress, along with a novel that\u2014God willing\u2014will be published this year. I\u2019m also writing a nonfiction book on writing, which I hope to complete next year,&#8221; she shared enthusiastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite juggling multiple genres, Ratih finds it easy to shift between projects. &#8220;Maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019ve been writing for a long time. My brain has adapted to switching quickly,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She emphasized that running out of ideas is never the issue. \u201cInspiration can come from anywhere. What concerns me is whether I have the time to write them all. That\u2019s why writers must become curators\u2014choosing which ideas are worth the time, money, and effort,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-3.webp\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41981\" src=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-3.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-3-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-2.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" data-id=\"41982\" src=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-2-300x224.webp 300w, https:\/\/uns.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/From-UNS-to-National-Fame-Ratih-Kumalas-Literary-Journey-2-768x575.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For aspiring writers, Ratih believes the foundation of success lies in discipline and consistency. \u201cIt may sound clich\u00e9, but these two things are essential. Writing in Indonesia is not always financially sustainable. Many writers take on additional jobs, and that\u2019s okay. What matters most is staying consistent,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A Strong Beginning in the World of Literature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ratih&#8217;s passion for writing began during her university years. She joined the Rumah Baca Bumi Manusia, a literary community established by UNS students. This experience played a crucial role in shaping her love for literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI started writing as a hobby. Thanks to my friends\u2019 encouragement, I began taking it seriously. I wrote short stories, moved to novels, and entered competitions. Winning the Jakarta Arts Council Novel Competition in 2003 with <em>Tabula Rasa<\/em> was a turning point,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award brought recognition to her. It helped her gain attention from Indonesia\u2019s literary legends, including Sapardi Djoko Damono and Budi Darma. Both served as judges in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI joined the competition hoping experienced writers would read my work. Mr. Sapardi, Mr. Budi Darma, and Mr. Maman S. Mahayana were the judges. They selected my novel as a winner. I felt thrilled. Interestingly, most winners that year were women. Mr. Sapardi even said that the future of Indonesian literature belongs to women,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That statement motivated Ratih to continue. She faced the sastrawangi label\u2014a term used by some male writers to stereotype female authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Advocating for Women and Literature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coinciding with Kartini Day, Ratih shared a message of encouragement for today\u2019s women. \u201cWomen can now pursue their dreams freely. They can speak up and express themselves. Compared to the past, today offers more opportunities\u2014so use them,\u201d she urged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, Ratih also serves on the Literary Promotion Board at the Ministry of Culture. In this role, she promotes Indonesian literature on a global scale. \u201cWe are preparing for the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. It\u2019s one of our steps to introduce Indonesian literature to the world,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ratih highlighted that promoting literature involves more than just publishing books. \u201cIt includes translating works and connecting local writers with international readers. Literature reflects our culture. It\u2019s a gateway to show who we are,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>A Proud UNS Alumna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back on her journey, Ratih expressed gratitude for her time at UNS. \u201cAt first, I didn\u2019t choose UNS because of literature\u2014I simply loved English. Since I lived in Solo, UNS was the best option,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She wasn\u2019t initially drawn to literature. However, her time at UNS and the support from her literary community shaped her into the writer she is today. \u201cTo fellow UNS alumni\u2014whatever profession you pursue, carry the UNS name proudly. Let\u2019s continue making our alma mater proud,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ratih Kumala\u2019s story proves that with passion, discipline, and resilience, success is possible. She remains a shining example for young Indonesian writers and a proud ambassador for UNS on the national stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HUMAS UNS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNS \u2013 Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta proudly celebrates the achievements of one of its distinguished alumni.
