Terdekat dan Terasing: Kumpulan Catatan Sejarah Sosial Keluarga
Mengenal Indonesia melalui sudut pandang dan narasi kecil bernama keluarga adalah upaya untuk mendekatkan “yang jauh”. Sehingga kita memiliki kesempatan menjadi tak perlu panjang lebar dan muluk-muluk untuk menjelaskan Indonesia karena bisa dimulai dari yang paling dekat—melalui sejarah keluarga dan orang-orang di sekitar kita, melalui aktivitas keseharian, ritual agama dan kepercayaan, tradisi, makanan dan minuman, arsitektur, gaya berpakaian, atau apa saja yang selama ini kita terima begitu saja sebagai hal yang biasa. Kisah-kisah di buku ini seperti menjelma menjadi kawan yang menawarkan keakraban yang nyaris tak pernah ia tampakkan di ruang-ruang resmi dan serius. Kita menjadi tahu bahwa kita tak pernah benar-benar tahu tentang kawan kelasi terdekat. Pada akhirnya kita tahu setelah mendengar langsung kisah diri dan keluarganya, dan kita membuka diri menerima kawan kita dengan segala macam kisah hidupnya.
Of Lamb
In this version of the children's nursery rhyme, Lamb and Mary fall in love. Then Mary has second thoughts. Lamb is a lamb, after all, not a man. Lamb, heartbroken, turns to drinking. Lamb goes to a madhouse. Mary buries her feelings. And then somehow, Lamb pulls it together. He leaves the madhouse mature--saddened but more dignified, ready for another chance to win Mary's heart, if she will have him. Award-winning poet Matthea Harvey offers a story told in short packets of verse, and artist Amy Jean Porter brings each stanza vividly to life with her eye-popping illustrations.

Jottings from a Far Away Place
Ranging on the fringes of imagination and erudition, forming a mosaic of stories, maxims and sketches, at once fragmentary and cumulative, Jottings from a Far Away Place combines the timeless, mannered assurance of the Eastern discursive essay with the experimentation of the Western avant-garde. As the focus shifts between fantastic tales and studies of viciousness, the reader is treated to, among myriad other things, the adventures of a Taoist guitar player, a bloody episode with Countess de Bathory, a recipe for cinnabar sauce, and the story of a man who has been reincarnated as a spoon. A book that is like a collection of bulletins from the world of dreams."
Use Your Imagination !
A woman becomes obsessed with a story about her family from 1890--when a naked, mute girl stumbled onto their property--and whether or not it really happened. A self-help guru and his chief strategist take their most affluent and unstable clients on a harrowing nature hike that destroys their company. A young convict in a prison creative writing class chronicles the rise and fall of his cellblock's resident peacemaker. A rural neighbourhood becomes obsessed by the coming of a strange and powerful new homeowner who is in the middle of reinventing herself. The stories of Use Your Imagination! are about stories, about the way we define and give shape to ourselves through all kinds of narratives, true or not. In seven long stories, Kris Bertin examines the complex labyrinth of lies, delusions, compromise, and fabrication that makes up our personal history and mythology. Sometimes funny, strange, or frightening, these stories represent Bertin's follow-up to his critically acclaimed, award-winning debut, Bad Things Happen.
