"To be in love...to be utterly alone..." A beautiful quote by Henry Miller. Who does not know him? A casanova who spent most of his time wandering around between the U.S. and France, going from one lady's arms to another lady's embrace, drinking and smoking, and living a controversial life and a complicated love life with Anaïs Nin and his June Miller. Those qualities only add more charms to Miller's. Yet one thing should be noted: Henry Miller is one of the prominent figures in erotic literature. The World of Sex is one of the books that he wrote. What makes it different is the fact that Henry puts his personal thought about life, love and sex here. His ideas and ways of thinking are always fascinating. He always sees things from different aspects. His opinions related to the prostitutes here is the example. Henry also believes that love is different with sex and most women often mix them both. I surprisingly enjoy reading The World of Sex. It is a bit of non-fiction and autobiography as it's based on Henry's experience himself. Still a book worth reading tho! #booklover #bookish #bookishindonesia #bookaholic #bookstagram #bookstagramindonesia #bibliophile #bookreview #bookreviewer #booknerd #bookenthusiast #bookaddict # #bookblogger #bookaesthetic #bookshelves #descalibrary #descaslibrary #descanto #fictionbook #nonfictionbook #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #literatureisliving #riotgrams #theworldofsex #henrymiller #eroticliterature (at Desca's Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrzPbshymez/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rasina tells a story from two POVs: from the POV of Joost Borstveld, a Dutch officer in Batavia in 1755 and from the POV of Hendriek Cornelis Adam, another Dutch officer in Banda circa 1621. What makes these two POVs intersected is the narration about slavery during the Dutch colonialism in Indonesia esp those coming from Banda; pointed in two aspects: the opium trade and the slavery. I am always amazed with Banu’s ways in depicting his story. He seems to drag his readers’ imagination and take them to experience the story themselves. Add his strength: his research on the specific matters he’s trying to convey. I wish that this book can be translated into different languages. It does worth the hype and it will defo become another great addition for ASEAN or Asia literature. KEBAB Reading Club @kebabreadingclub is conducting a discussion on this book on 25 April 2023.

I’ve given up the ideas of having children many years ago. Simply because I realise that having children are time-consuming. They aren't some sorta try-out that you can go and say , “oh this method doesn't work, let’s try another method on our kiddos.” They aren't like our pet whom we can say,“Water is in the kitchen so help yourself.” (I know the last line is a little bit like Seinfield’s a little bit). So I decided from the beginning for not adding more numbers to the world population. And I always tell my partner or my partner to be about this decision. I keep telling them that the only parenthood I’ll closely go is to adopt two Labradors and name them Lenin and Stalin when we both move and settle permanently elsewhere in the future (defo not in the near future ha!). I am too freaking old for having children anyway lol. I, therefore always admire my Biyung (mum-Javanese dialect) for her devotion to the family. It’s not easy to become a wife, a mother of four, a civil servant and a caterer . I also admire my friends who dedicate themselves to become a housewife and a mother. I don't think that it suits me well even most of my friends keep saying that I will make a great mother to my children. I dun know the reason why. Prolly there’s a part of me who goes against it; the fear of losing the freedom I’ve been longing to have; a particular fear that I will give up the independence I’ve been forming from a scratch. Add some unpleasant experiences from the past leaving me bitter and sour when it comes to marital and maternal life. And comes Tori’s book entitled Childfree and Happy, a book that comes from her contemplation on the narration of childfree. The book itself is presented from the personal and scientific points of view. Tori does not only present her personal experience but also tries to present the scientific facts about why it is okay not to have children. One of them is by deconstruction the religious text. I have nothing much to say about this book but I just wish that I could read more personal experiences on this childfree-notion. I guess it will make this book to become more personal and more dearly to those whose heart can relate. Des✨ (at Sota,PNG) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrC7dNXrJSx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There is indeed a lot to admire about Waris Dirie and her story. Raised in a nomadic Somali family, raped at age four and then mutilated in a female circumcision ritual at age five, she bravely ran away from home at thirteen to avoid being married off to an old man. The Young Dirie endured many obstacles - finding her way to Mogadishu and to her long-lost relatives, a string of unsuccessful living arrangements, working as a maid in London and then as kitchen help in McDonalds with minimal English language or literacy. Eventually, Dirie embarks on a successful modeling career and then uses her success to speak out against female genital mutilation (FGM). So yes! It's defo a shocking story and everyone can read quickly despite the mediocre writing which detracted some. Unfortunately I just couldn't warm up to Dirie as a narrator. Some parts of the books seemed so superficial and dull which didn't leave me any impression at all. Well, still a quick one to read during the short flight tho! Thanks @namakurhea for shipping this book all the way from Jakarta. ❤️ Des✨ #bookishindonesia #bookaholic #bookstagram #bookstagramindonesia #bibliophile #bookreview #bookreviewer #booknerd #bookaddict #bookblogger #bookaesthetic #bookenthusiast #booksbooksbooks #descalibrary #descaslibrary #descareading2023 #fictionbook #literaturejunkie #nonfiction #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #ReadTheWorld23 #riotgrams #BookstagramReels #WarisDirie #DesertFlower #AutoBiography #FemaleGenitalMutilation (at Sota,PNG) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_wwy2y3ok/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My access to book is very limited ever since I moved to the border between Indo and PNG. So here comes the rereading... Bright is a novel written by Duanwad Pimwana and is translated into English by Mui Poopoksakul. I had a buddy read on this novel with the one and only Prabda Soon-die-hard-fan @teguhafandi and the podcast queen @patricia.wulandari There is no plot-line in this novel as the story is centred around an abandoned five-year-old Kompol. His mother left him and the baby boy for another man after the husband kept hitting her. The father returned to the ex-wife taking Kompol’s baby brother. The family is all scattered out. Kompol’s parents keep coming in and out of Kompol’s life; leaving him collectively adopted by the community: Hia Chong, Aunt Mon, the womaniser Old Tia and many more. This little boy makes a bit of money from being a masseuse for Dang and also as a helper for Hia Chong. Kompol’s collection of incidences consists of sad and happy stories of his childhood. I know there are some sad parts, but I still cannot help myself but to smile while reading the parts about his innocence and foolishness. Kampol and his friends make me giggle with all of their usual childhood mischief. They befriend the stray dogs, playing with marbles, bounce-back balls which remind me of my childhood. What I also love from this novel is the fact that Pimwana does not only give me a joyous depiction of childhood but also a portrait of working class in Thailand. I really recommend this book especially to those who enjoy sweet stories (the ending is sweet even it ends tragically) about family.

How many of you know that Neruda, the Chilean port has ever lived in Batavia (now Jakarta), Indonesia and met his first wife Maria Hagenaar there? Here is a bit story of Neruda, Hagenaar and Federico Garcia Lorca which some of you prolly have known: Hagenaar (later known as Maruca Reyes) was married to the Chilean diplomat named Ricardo Neftali Reyes (famous as Pablo Neruda) in Batavia (now Jakarta) in December 1930. They only know how to communicate in English. It didn't take long until this couple return to Chili before moving out to Buenos Aires, Argentina where Neruda was assigned and where they met a young Spanish poet - Federico García Lorca. Hagenaar was very much close to Lorca. When Neruda and Hagenaar's first child, Maria Malva Reyes was born premature and later was diagnosed with a certain disease, their marriage was in trouble - worsened with Neruda's lifestyle as a don juan and his infidelity. Through the times of trouble, it was Lorca who gave some comforts to Hagenaar. Lorca was assassinated in 1936 during the civil war in Spain. Neruda who happened to be assigned in Spain brought Hagenaar and Malva to Barcelona and they crossed the border to France by train. They never knew that Lorca once wrote a poem about Malva Marina. The poem itself was later found fifty years after the death of Malva. So heart-wrenching because Neruda, the father has written so many beautiful poems inspired by his lovers and their love-making but has never ever written any poems about the daughter himself. The poem came from Lorca, an outsider and a friend from the family. Even in Ode to Federico García Lorca, Neruda only mentioned Maruca's name in a glance. The love story between Hagenaar and Neruda is so ironic and heart-breaking. What can I say? It always takes a courage to love yet it always needs someone who is brave enough to stay in love.

"Perhaps by dreaming you, I am creating the real you, but in another reality; perhaps you will be mine there, in that other purer world, where we will love each other but never touch, with a different kind kf embraxe and other more essential ways of possessing ine another? Perhaps you existed already, and I did not create you, but merely saw you with a different way of seeing, interior and pure, in another, more perfect world? Perhaps my dreaming you was simply finding you, perhaps my scorn for the flesh and my feelings of revulsion were pnly the obscure desire with which, before I knew you, I was waiting for you, and the vague hope that, even without knowing you, I loved you? I really don't know if I loved you already, in a vacuum for which perhaps my perennial tedium is kind of nostalgia. Perhaps you are another sort of nostalgia, a physical absence, a distant presence..." 💐 Perhaps it's Pessoa's, simply when I need a harsh reminder and a slap on my face!

Here: my rainbow socks and my current read! I am mow reading an anthology of Japanese gay literature and I cannot help myself but to highlight some sentences I have read in the introduction. There's a sentence which makes my heart constricts (slide 2), saying, ..." Love between men is not in fact a tradition that has been widely discussed by the Japanese academic community..." I cannot help myself but to think "what a lamentable fact..." it is indeed a lamentable fact because if I always adore the Japanese Samurai homosexuality and their trends. The trends have shifted from a beautiful and more passive boys or the acolyte or the sexual companions of a monk or abbott called chigo to a wakashu - the brave and manly squires of the samurai. So what's more beautiful in life than seeing the broad chest, stocky body and muscular thighs of those samurai a la Yukio Mishima (last slide) being described and romanticized for the same-sex love in the literary arena?

Kōshoku Ichidai Otoko/ The Life of an Amorous Man is an episodic account of the life of a 17th century Japanese adventurer who explores the pleasures of the flesh. The book combines literary parody, absurdist comedy and minute, realistic descriptions of social practices and material culture, and many of its characters are identifiably based on actual persons, prostitute, kabuki actors and others. Circling around the life of a wealthy born voluptuary and one of the former prostitutes. Yanosuke spends his childhood and youth mostly in Kamigata region centred on Kyoto and Osaka. Being sexually active, he neglects his duty and spends so much time and money on prostitutes. His parents later disowns him leading him to a path as a monk but his interest on sex soon causes him to leave the Buddhist path. For years, he wanders the provinces and supporting himself as a salesman, a kabuki actor, soothsayer, and some other works and his sexual escapades doesn't stop with age but still going on either with men or women. It seems to me what Saikaku wants to say is that sex is a basic needs in human life. Thus,he exposes so many sides in the pleasure department. Saikaku's portrayal on Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines as favourite haunts for homosexuals, but all the male theatre are interesting. What is more interesting is his portrayal of the women and heroines. Women were barred from the acting profession for having combined it with another yet Saikaku’s women are portrayed with their boldness. It seems like to Saikaku: this boldness is what makes a woman great, more than her beauty. Nevertheless, his heroines are weak as well as string. He does not spare them the consequences of their weakness- which is dying in a shameful situation in some stories aforementioned. I think that this ultimate retribution is not brought about merely to satisfy conventional morality at that time. I also think that death may be too extreme a penalty to pay for such offences. Yet it seems to Saikaku that the moral order is as hard and inescapable a fact as human passion. Des ✨ (at Sota,PNG) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWz5AMLUYo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So here: the anthologies of short stories published by by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The list of contributors are some prominent writers you may have known like Hannah Lilith Assadi, Yoon Ha Lee and Madeline Ashby. Add the foreword from Roxanne Gay. The idea for this anthology is to shine a light on various issues occurring and worsening, and show potential solutions. The main point is to create a utopian world where people can live safely. Interesting ha! Well, just like any other anthologies, this anthology has some good and okay stories. Yet they will mention and offer you stories about domestic violence, child abuse, animal abuse, physical violence and murder, islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, classism, poverty, self-harm, alcoholism, substance abuse, homophobia and possibly other issues that I have forgotten. If you’d prefer to avoid sensitive matter related to the topics I just listed, Take Us to a Better Place Stories may not be for you. So did the stories in the collection lean a little heavily on their theme? Of course they did. Were they still well written and enjoyable? Yes!

Here: If you plan to do a quick reading on this compilation of essay to be exact then drop your plan - I suggest! The 21 essays on translation written in this book aren't something you'll read in a glance. It's simply because they'll take you to the world of (literary) translation from both personal and professional perspectives. I sound a little bit like Bloom but I couldn't help myself but raise this question, “Shall we see (or enjoy) a piece of translation aesthetically or seeing the meaning behind each translated word written there which lead us to an ideological perspectives. I have given an example of how political and ideological a translation could be on my previous post on this book. I also mentioned Burton’s translations as an example which is also mentioned several times in this book. Yet I cannot neglect that there are plenty of literary translated works that I fall simply because of its translations. Here’s an example: Some of my #TiltedAxisTeam friends told me that Hamid Ismailov’s are not easy to be understood even they’re translated into English. In my case, I do fall for Ismailov simply because I can convey and relate to what he wrote through the English translation. Another example: I always adore Marguerite Duras! I always have my head over heels when it comes to Duras. But I do enjoy reading the translated version of L’amant - the Lover. I stock each word there as I put my heart on sleeve. Another interesting point is how this book points to the discussion of decolonisation through literary translation. An example is the translation of the Arabic words and the works of my love- a Saint Lucian poet Derek Walcott. Will elaborate more on the review on this book in my personal platform. Will keep you updated.

I have never been a huge fan of horror books nor horror movies. I don't really fancy the recent Indonesian horror movies too. Most of them are likely eroticised the Indonesian local ghosts. Say: Diperkosa Setan (Raped by Satan); Tali Pocong Perawan, and Paku Kuntilanak. Does the title offer some derogatory terms? Those movies do not only offer the audiences some horror scenes but also the sensuality of the actress. People will watch an Indonesian actress Dewi Persik, dancing in see-trough cloth while taking a baht dan dancing. To gain more and more fame, some of the movie magnates invited the Japanese adult movie stars to act as the main actress in their horror movie. Check Suster Keramas and Hantu Tanah Kusir starred by Rin Sakuragi and Maria Ozawa. Their name surely ring a bell in the Japanese adult movies industry. I must say that as an oldie, I kindda miss the "old horror tale" about pesugihan, black magic, and if it comes to a movie, the old horror movies starred by Tante Suzanna are my preferences. So comes this book: Lewat Tengah Malam by Sweta which drag all my memories to those types of horror tales I often heard when I was a kid. There's nothing scary in the book but entertaining. What I also love about this book is the fact that all the things Sweta portrays here are familiar to us as an Indonesian. The sketches do remind me of those Abdullah Harahap's books. Entertaining tho! Give this book a go!

My Romo kept asking me what I would be when I was a kid. I told him that I wanted to live and work in the eastern part of Indonesia. I haven't given any thoughts about it any longer since then. I traveled , lived in so many different countries but well, 25 years later: here I am - in the farthest (eastern) part of Indonesia - close to the border to PNG! I can always mention how great and kind the universe to me. It works in such mysterious ways. I do not know whether those words I've spoken have become such a mantra, and a silent prayers or simply it's just a matter of coincidence. What I know is that the universe always have such ways to manifest those prayers. Reading Menjadi (Becoming - Eng) by Afutami is like dragging myself to the past. It allows me some spaces to retrace the pieces that I have left back then and reconnect them with the present meh! It gives me some spaces to unveil who I am, what I need and how to achieve things I've been dreaming of. I also like the allegories used in this book. The allegories used is so simple and understandable - at least to me who have no interest in such motivational books (simply because 1st: I am always sceptical when it comes to these kinds of thingies; 2nd. That's why it's not my cup of tea!). The contents of the book is also relatable to our life. Thankies Kebab @kebabreadingclub for conducting the discussion on this book this month.

IMAGINING BURTON: A POP-UP THOUGHT ON THE VIOLENT PHENOMENA PART 1 Half way reading TVP and I can't help myself but to think about the first pages of this book. There's a name we're familiar with: Sir Richard Francis Burton and connected it to the recent book club meeting I once attended. Burton who's able to speak in 8 different languages has once translated the 1001 Arabian nights and the famous erotic book The Perfumed Garden (TPG) by Sheikh Nefzawi, a Maroccan writer in 1866. Burton translated TPG from the French manuscript printed by Isidore Liseux in the same year. The last chapter of the manuscript was left incomplete. The reason is: the censorship - the materials abt homosexuality and pederasty. With the standard of "morality" at that particular era that chapter will have to be removed. So here: translation isn't only a matter of art (Tiff @tiffanytsao says "it's not a guide book,boo!") but can also be political and ideological (Anton @antonhur once refer it to "you're not white!"-thingies) And here: I joined a book club a while ago in which the translator of the book we're discussing said: "the book is translated from the language X (which this translator doesn't speak nor understand) to English and I translated it into Bahasa Indonesia from English, but there are flaws in the English translated version." I was aghast at this statement as I started thinking "how would one know that there are flaws in the language X to English translated version without even knowing, speaking or understanding the source language?" So, let's imagine Burton while he's translating the Perfumed Garden from Liseux's manuscript in French! I know that Burton speaks very well Arabic and French but imagine if he doesn't speak Arabic - dun understand it nor the culture and only translated TPG from French into English; would he dare saying "there's a huge flaws in Liseux's?" Doesn't it sound too haughty? Des ✨ PS: wearing my rainbow-Pippi-Longstockings pairs of socks while sipping my (herbal) tea. Life ey?!
