In Other Words

Through the worst days of Indonesia's authoritarianism, in the face of the trauma of great violence and the chaos of democratic transition, Goenawan has never lost faith in the act of writing.

Pembentuk Sejarah: Pilihan Tulisan Goenawan Mohamad
GOENAWAN MOHAMAD—penyair, kritikus sastra, esais filsafat, penulis lakon dan novel—adalah penulis yang produktif. Sampai-sampai Rizal Mallarangeng, dalam epilog buku ini, berani menyandingkannya dengan Winston Churchill, mantan Perdana Menteri Inggris sekaligus peraih Hadiah Nobel Sastra. Kata Rizal, Goenawan Mohamad diperkirakan telah menulis sebanyak 4 juta kata. Sementara itu, Churchill telah menghasilkan 6 juta kata dalam 37 jilid buku. Namun Churchill menulis di tengah masyarakat yang telah kental dengan sejarah intelektual dan kesusastraan. “Sementara GM sangat berbeda. Dia tumbuh dalam masyarakat yang masih didominasi tradisi lisan.... Saya tidak tahu kapan capaian seperti ini bisa didekati oleh penulis lain di negeri kita,” tulis Rizal. Buku ini menyajikan sebagian tulisan Goenawan Mohamad tentang sejumlah negarawan, cendekiawan, maupun sastrawan. Sebagian besar dari mereka dikenal langsung, sehingga tulisan-tulisannya menarik. Pembentuk Sejarah diterbitkan sebagai bagian dari serangkaian buku yang diluncurkan untuk merayakan 80 tahun Goenawan Mohamad, sekaligus menghimpun tulisan-tulisannya secara tematik.
Membaca Goenawan Mohamad
Siapakah Goenawan Mohamad? Apakah ia menandai berakhirnya sebuah zaman? Zaman ketika sastra, jurnalisme, idealisme, dan perjuangan kebebasan berkelindan. Masa ketika sastrawan, wartawan, dan aktivis seringkali adalah sosok yang sama—sebagaimana GM, begitu ia biasa dipanggil. Jauh sebelumnya, kita mengenal nama-nama, antara lain, Tirto Adi Suryo di awal 1900-an, atau Mochtar Lubis di tahun 1950-an hingga 1970-an. Tradisi tritunggal wartawan-sastrawan-pejuang itu dilanjutkan GM, penyair sekaligus pemimpin Tempo, majalah berita yang didirikannya tahun 1971. Bayangkan, selama seratus tahun lebih, di sepanjang abad ke-20, kita sebenarnya terbiasa dengan bersatunya kerja wartawan, sastrawan, dan...
