Lipatan Korona
Buku ini berisi tujuh belas buah cerpen yang berasal dari dua kelompok atau komunitas sastra yang setidaknya secara geografis berbeda, yaitu tiga belas buah berasal dari anggota-anggota Komunitas Jejak Imaji Yogyakarta, sedangkan tiga buah cerpen yang terdapat di urutan terakhir berasal dari para santri Komunitas Sastra Darussalam, Ciamis. Bahwa cerpen-cerpen itu dapat dikelompokkan berdasarkan komunitas di atas terutama karena semuanya dihasilkan dari sebuah pelatihan penulisan cerpen yang diselenggarakan oleh Prodi Magister Sastra, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, UGM pada tahun 2020 yang lalu. Karena itu pula, sebagian besar cerpen di dalam kumpulan ini memperlihatkan menggarap persoalan yang juga serupa, yang sesuai dengan tema dari program pelatihan di atas, yaitu pengalaman atau pengamatan para penulisnya mengenai Korona atau Covid-19 di Indonesia, tentu saja bukan sebagai virus yang bersifat fisik-biologis, melainkan pengalaman manusiawi mengenainya.

Para pengamat politik dan sejarawan menganggap kejadian itu sebagai insiden lokal semata, dan karena itu tak bersangkut-paut dengan peristiwa in...

In Corona Crisis, professor Mark Hitchcock shares how the current coronavirus outbreak is related to the vivid, end-time biblical prophecies about plagues, pestilences, and pandemics. With all the fear and chaos that is spreading through our nation and the world, what does it mean? Is the pandemic a sign of the end times?

Corona Crisis puts the current situation in perspective in relation to previous plagues humans have already survived, like the Spanish flu, while giving an overview of the major s...
If You Believe in Mermaids... Don't Tell
Some things you just can't say, even to your parents. "Dad, did you ever want to be a mermaid?" Nope. Don't say it. Not if you're a boy. You gotta keep it inside. Maybe thirteen-year-old Todd Winslow is the best diver at summer camp. If only diving could save him. Underwater is a much kinder world, a secret mermaid world that no one else can know about - not Dad, and definitely not Brad, the camp's numero uno bad boy. Todd tries to fit in, playing nice with flirty model-wannabe Sylvie and shunning nature-nerd Olivia - but you can only fool people for so long. Brad is watching every move, ready to expose all that's different about Todd. Then there's the doll thing. And Dad finds out. How will...
