The popular weekly Sundanese newspaper Galura regularly carries a column, in fact a whole page, entitled Satukangeun Lalangsé. This column carries stories about the married lives of Sundanese men and women which are purportedly true stories. The articles are always said to be written by the principal character—kuring (I)—using a sandiasma, a pseudonym. Reading the column every week gives the reader, or at least this reader, a sense of the preoccupations of men and women faced with the problems of personal relationships within marriage, and reveals common attitudes to polygamy, unfaithfulness in marriage, the role of fate and  individuals’ hopes and fears in pursuing their goals in life. A specific feature of the column is the way in which individual stories are always linked to a Sundanese - sometimes Indonesian - proverb, the truth of which the story illustrates. This paper looks at selected stories, and through an analysis of common themes and story-lines tries to come to some conclusions about what constitutes a Sundanese ‘structure of feeling’.
