Djenar Maesa Ayu (born 14 January 1973), also known as Nay,[1] is an Indonesian novelist, short story writer, actress, screenwriter, and filmmaker. Her work has variously been described as "provocative and lurid", and unique and brave.[2] Because of the boldness of the topics she writes about, Ayu is considered to a member of the informal movement labeled sastra wangi.[3]
