# 21 - Works by Sobron Aidit

 When I heard the sad news that exiled writer Sobron Aidit passed away on February 10, I decided to try to figure out how best to find his work online.  These are the provisional results of a quick search.

 For his most recent postings on various Yahoo groups, go to the lists below.  Use Yahoo's advanced search for each group, and enter his username (simonsobron) as author. This omits postings that are discussions of his postings.  You can also narrow the search by using the subject lines he used to distinguish among his frequent messages (such as puisi, cerpen, and the specific series by title ).

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BelitungIsland/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apakabar/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SM_Indonesia/

 His earliest postings (from 1997-2002, on the original 'apakabar' list).  Go to: the 'apakabar' archive here

 To see a posting he wrote about his use of the original  'apakabar', go here

 There are a few postings by or about him on the Indonesian-studies Yahoo list.

 A website is Sobron Aidit: Sastrawan Engage part of a site called Panorama Sastra Kontemporer).

 His Wikipedia biography (in Indonesian, includes list of his published work).

 From Radio Nederlands, two pieces, one here and an obituary here.

 Aboeprijadi Santoso's Sobron's fate highlights nation's tragedy.

 His most recent book and a book in progress with Lembaga Humaniora are referenced here.
