Abstract

Abdurrahman Wahid, or Gus Dur as he is popularly known, has a little-known, almost secret nocturnal life. He is a frequent visitor to the innumerable tombs of Java's Muslim saints and pious clerics. These visits usually take place at night and often occur on the spur of the moment. Not infrequently they upset or mystify fellow politicians.
