The film is expected to get a 2021 release. In 2016, Palari Films announced a film adaptation of Kurniawan's book Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash to be directed by Edwin, who will also co-write the screenplay with Kurniawan. He has been described as 'Indonesia’s finest writer since Pramoedya Ananta Toer' and 'Indonesia's most exciting author.' Kurniawan's style of 'approaching social concerns at an angle rather than head-on, with hefty doses of surrealism and wry humour' also draws comparisons to Haruki Murakami. Kurniawan has insisted that Beauty Is a Wound is neither a historical novel nor a book about Indonesian history. The use of magic realism in the book has led to comparisons to Gabriel García Márquez. His novel Beauty Is a Wound was included in the list of 100 notable books by The New York Times. His works are translated into more than 24 languages. He writes novels, short stories, movie scripts, and blog, as well as essays. He studied philosophy at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. He was born in Tasikmalaya, West Java, and grew up in a small coastal town Pangandaran.

In 2016, Kurniawan became the first Indonesian writer to be nominated for the Man Booker International Prize. Eka Kurniawan (born November 28, 1975) is an Indonesian writer and screenwriter.
