Sub-bab 44: Satire Akhir Tahun

    In my opinion, this story is so sad that it brings pain to life because it describes the bitterness of Sabari's life, who has repeatedly lost his loved ones, from children to parents, and also the collapse of the business on which his life depended. The atmosphere of loneliness seems to make the reader feel what he feels. What is even more supportive is that it is as if the reader is in Sabari's point of view, so that we feel the silence of the night and the suffocating sense of loss.

    The message that can be taken from this sub-chapter is about how fragile our lives are filled with loss and longing, as Sabari feels when the people and things he loves leave one by one, leaving him alone in a lonely world. But despite being hit by sadness and setbacks, Sabari still maintains a sense of love and memory, because that is where she finds meaning and hope that remains.

Book Review: Danur_ Risa Saraswati

-
Gambar
"Danur: Karena Mereka Juga Ada" karya Risa Saraswati adalah novel semi-otobiografi yang mengisahkan pengalaman pribadi penulis dalam menjalin persahabatan dengan lima arwah anak-anak Belanda: Peter, William, Hans, Hendrick, dan Janshen. Buku ini menyoroti kelebihan Risa dalam melihat makhluk tak kasat mata, yang menjadi anugerah sekaligus kutukan baginya. Melalui interaksi dengan para arwah, Risa menyampaikan bahwa mereka juga memiliki perasaan dan hanya ingin didengar.  Meskipun mengandung elemen supranatural, "Danur" lebih menekankan pada tema persahabatan dan empati antar dimensi. Risa berhasil "memanusiakan" makhluk halus tersebut, menggambarkan mereka dengan latar belakang yang menyentuh dan jauh dari stereotip hantu menyeramkan.  Namun, beberapa pembaca mencatat adanya kekurangan dalam penyuntingan, seperti kesalahan penulisan dan tata bahasa. Meskipun demikian, keunikan format penulisan yang mencakup narasi, dialog, dan surat, serta ilus...

Review (/sub bab) Cerpen "Peter Pan" – Corat-Coret di Toilet

-
▪︎Sub bab 1: "Peter Pan" – Corat-Coret di Toilet Cerita ini menceritakan tentang seorang mahasiswa idealis yang dipanggil Peter Pan—bukan karena dia bisa terbang atau tinggal di Neverland, tapi karena dia tidak lulus-lulus dan seolah tidak mau jadi dewasa. Tapi di balik itu, dia punya semangat perlawanan yang tinggi. Dia mencuri buku-buku dari perpustakaan, bukan karena serakah, tapi karena dia mau dipenjara, agar pemerintah sadar betapa pentingnya buku. Ironisnya, tida ada yang menangkap dia, dan itu malah bikin dia makin kecewa. Dari sinilah dia mulai merancang “perang gerilya” melawan pemerintah yang dia anggap busuk. Dia membuat selebaran, menulis puisi-puisi yang menusuk, dan jadi inspirasi buat banyak orang. Bahkan, sampai Presiden sendiri datang untuk bilang, “Berhenti menulis puisi!”—yang malah dianggap Peter Pan sebagai ajakan perang. Cerita ini juga dibalut kisah cinta. Naratornya, si Tuan Puteri, adalah pacarnya Peter Pan. Tapi hubungan mereka tidak bisa bertahan k...
