Welcome

My name is Jay Wellik, and I am a Peace Corps Masters International student studying volcanic hazards at Michigan Technological University.

In the fourth book of Pramoedya's Buru Quartet, the narrator refers to a 'House of Glass' as a metaphorical place where he can transparently record his thoughts and observations for posterity.

This will be my House of Glass for my 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia.

House of Glass (Jay) "So if I am able to preserve this writing of mine…I would like you to give it the title 'House of Glass.'"
