Origami Luka
Pengkhianatan itu tak menimbulkan bekas, tetapi mengukir luka dalam seiring tertitinya masa. Meski berbagai cara dilakukan untuk menghilangkannya, tetapi luka itu terus terpatri, terlipat, terpilin indah bagai sebuah origami. Sayangnya, keindahan itu menimbulkan perih yang tak terkira. Perih yang akan timbul ketika kenangan akan pengkhianatan itu bergulir kembali bagai pijaran lentera. Buku ini mengemas berbagai kisah bertema pengkhianat. Siapakah sejatinya pengkhianat itu? Bisa kau, dia, bahkan … aku.
Bila Mendua Jadi Pilihan
Sama halnya seperti jatuh cinta. Keputusan Mendua juga merupakan pilihan yang bisa jadi terbaik tergantung versi masing-masing. Walaupun terkesan melukakan, menyakitkan. Namun, seringkali lupa bahwa keputusan mendua adalah pelajaran berbekas yang siapa pun tak ingin menjadi korban. Ketahuilah, tak sembarang hati siap dengan pilihan mendua. Namun, yang luar biasa para pelaku mendua adalah yang kisahnya bisa jadi abadi, tersimpan di memori belakang hati. Ra - Kontributor Hati bukanlah benda mati sehingga bisa dibagi. Semestinya hati selalu terlindungi dari luka dan rasa sakit. Menduakan hati sama halnya dengan melangkah mengingkari janji untuk setia, melupakan panjangnya perjalanan cinta, membunuh rasa, hati dan sanubari. Akankah manusia sanggup tegar saat diduakan? Pantaskah ketulusan dan kesucian hati terkhianati? Akan bahagiakah dicintai sekaligus di sakiti? Kembali kepada keikhlasan dan ketetapan hati masing-masing, siapkah bila mendua atau diduakan menjadi pilihan. Ndra - Kontributor

(Hope, editor Nubar Broken Heart)
Women and Demons
This rich ethnographic study describes the nearly impossible challenge of the daily existence of women in the poor neighbourhoods of Cairo. When these women fall ill they often put the blame on beings from an invisible world that invaded their body (possession), and they seek the help of traditional healers in the Zar ceremony or Koran healing.

The author, who lived a long time in various poor areas of Cairo, attended many sessions of Koran healing and participated in the Zar ceremony. She observed and interviewed many possessed women, as well as healers and other ‘demon specialists’.
