Who is Hanna Rambe?

Hanna Rambe is an Indonesian writer and journalist and was educated largely in Jakarta. In the mid-1960s, she entered the Literature Department at the University of Indonesia where she enrolled in the English language division, but she did not complete her schooling. She began working as a journalist, beginning as a copy-editor at the Indonesian Observer newspaper, and then worked as a translator and reporter for Indonesia Raya until 1974. She also worked as a contributor to the magazine Intisari, and then as a journalist at Mutiara magazine from.

According to Jane Miller, Rambe's stories are infused with a strong sense of irony—in, a country girl is confused when she meets her city relatives and finds out that they care more about their pets than each other.

Rambe's work as a journalist provided her the opportunity to travel and her journeys provided inspiration for her stories. She is also known as an author who researches her subject in detail prior to writing; when preparing Mirah dari Banda she lived for a month in Banda doing research; while writing Seorang Lelaki dari Waimital, Hanna went back and forth to Seram, to the difficult to reach interior of the island.
