Terry Iwanski’s True-to-Life Retelling of Wife’s Wild Borneo Upbringing Set for Exhibit at the 2024 London Book Fair

At the London Book Fair 2024, visitors will encounter the work of the hottest best-sellers and rising stars in modern literature. On the other hand, it’s also a great place to find the work of independent and self-published authors as they showcase their budding talents.

Terry Iwanski is among them as he is set to display his second biographical work, this time on the story of his wife. Iwanski had previously published his own memoir, detailing his rough yet ultimately empowering journey of living the rock-n-roll lifestyle before settling down.

For his wife, he published “The Headhunter’s Granddaughter,” where he takes readers to the jungles of Borneo and the life of hardship that characterized the region in previous decades.

The memoir is written in a very conversational style, mixed with oral tradition. Its central character is named Pedo Rupa, following her life journey all the way to when she was born into a family of twelve. The difficulty of raising so many kids practically reduced her to just another expendable laborer, leading to her being sold to an uncle on a rubber plantation.

Still, she had one genuinely caring familial figure: Her grandfather.

It was also this same grandfather who bore the village title of “The Headhunter,” based on the grisly tales of his tribal, guerrilla tactics against the invading Japanese during WWII.

Overall, “The Headhunter’s Granddaughter” is a book that shares not only Iwanski’s love for his wife but also a peek at the history of Borneo’s jungle peoples throughout the 20^th century.

Visitors to the 2024 London Book Fair can find Terry Iwanski’s “The Headhunter’s Granddaughter” displayed at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at stand #6A90. The fair will be held on March 12-14, 2024, at the Olympia London, London, UK.

Author Bio
Terry Iwanski, born in the 1950s, experienced a strict upbringing during the era of Elvis and Bob Dylan. As the 1960s progressed, his perspective expanded with the influence of Hendrix, drugs, and psychedelics. Steppenwolf’s ’Born to Be Wild’ resonated deeply with Terry, providing guidance. As he navigated the sex, hate, and violence of the time, he absorbed these internalized experiences, leading to his maturation and wisdom. Terry became a living embodiment of his past, a repository of memories that held irresistible allure. By revisiting these memories, he invites others to join him in cherishing these vivid recollections.
