Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash is the third novel by Eka Kurniawan which was originally published in Indonesian by Gramedia Pustaka Utama in 2014 as Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas.

[1] Following international recognition that came with the strong reception of the English version of Kurniawan's earlier works—Beauty Is a Wound and Man Tiger—Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash was announced in July 2017 with translation by Annie Tucker.

When he finally meets his match in the form of the fearsome, beautiful bodyguard Iteung, Ajo is left bruised, battered, and overjoyed.

Both works illustrate these knots of community, where propriety, rage, and survival coexist with a surprising amount of compassion—and illuminate the pain and learning of the next generation with tremendous grace.

"[5] Writing for Asian Review of Books, Tim Hannigan called Kurniawan "the Quentin Tarantino of Indonesian literature" for his "gleeful references to pulp fiction, lashings of stylized violence, and an array of characters and scenarios that far surpass the tropes and clichés which inspire them.
