felt like having a fever dream sih aftertaste baca buku ini tuh.. absurd, plotnya juga ngga gitu jelas, karakter utamanya “Aku” ini juga kayak sedih banget ketimpa problem mulu, yah endingnya mendingan sih. seaneh buku ini juga ya aneh bgt aku bisa selesai baca sampai tamat, kayak bikin penasaran sampai akhirnya tuh berhasil sih

Ini dia buku terakhir yang aku baca di tahun 2021.
Novel pemenang sayembara DKJ 2012 ini genrenya Magical realism kan, nah jarang-jarang penulis Indonesia yg ngehasilin karya dri aliran ini.
Jadi i'm so excited buat bacanya, yah meskipun telat tau novelnya sih:"
bisa ngerti knp buku ini digolongkan ke dalam genre coming-of-age. di bagian selanjutnya dijelasin klo kita akan menyelami pemikiran si tokoh aku dalam menjalani kehidupannya yg akan berubah dri angka belasan ke angka kepala dua
overall bagus, segala macam keanehan bermunculan dan hal tersebut unik menurutku.
aku rasa penulis banyak terpapar gaya menulisnya murakami. semua unsur keanehan murakami bisa dibilang ada dalam isi bukunya.

I FINISHED IT AND OH MY GOD.
THIS SHIT IS CRAZY
im absolutely absolutely speechless i mean my jaw? unhinged. my mind? BLOWN.
i feel like, you know, i FEEL LIKE. THERES NO WAY someone can write like this from FIRST POV in such intensity that makes me want to punch myself time and time again, that TERRIFIES ME to the bones (when i read it at like 2 in the morning i almost can feel someone's watching me and this isnt even a horror story) unless they had been in a similar situation or at least they have to have empathy so deep and imagination so impossibly wide and facts that are just as wide (because you will not sit there and tell me that this is written without proper research NOT THIS KIND OF WRITING NO) but again WHAT DO I KNOW. WHAT DOES MY SILLY LITTLE BRAIN KNOW.
this was originally a 3.5 stars or 3.75 stars from me bcs i dont know there was some point where i thought it would not stick with me but BOI DO I WRONG. (that sentence isnt even gramatically correct but idc). the more i read the more i ALSO QUESTION MY SANITY. and please note thst i dont have a lot of it so if someone told me that a fish just told her that she is pregnant and is their partner in crime in the way like the mc said in this book theres half of me that believes them. literally. at some point i was like. you know what. i think she MIGHT BE RIGHT. i think the fish exists. i think everyone should just let her go and put muara in jail instead.
see i mean SEE how not only the writing is so impressive its also able to TWIST MY MIND.
its also tragic though in a way because there IS a reason why the main character behaves like that what shapes her to be like that (actually when the story opens with the mc describing her relationship with her mother i was like. uh oh. now THATS a recipe for disaster and God, what a disaster we got.) i absolutely fucking dig the ending. literally teared up bcs im SO RELIEVED. and bcs its so simple you know the solution isnt actually that hard in theory and yet in practice shsgshsjsjshjs i just cried at how hard a simple thing can be sometimes :"(
after that whole roller coaster theres no way im not giving this a 5 stars, rating it lower than that would be an Offense to the Literary World. however does it mean i Love It? no. in fact i think i can never read it again. but its so freaking impressive (im trying not to curse here ok also i said impressive twice my limited vocabulary both in english and idn just isnt very providing rn) therefore it deserves what it deserves.
and yes im absolutely going to read andina dwifatma's works again her writing is so incredibly addictive i need to read more i have to GETMORE its like drugs i tell ya
(also i write this whole rambling in english despite the book being written in indonesian shows how messed up my mind right now i just cant)

Ketika saya menemukan buku ini di toko buku, saya menganggap semua hal yang terlihat dalam tampak luar buku ini adalah kontradiktif. Absurd. Bagaimana tidak? Kita lihat saja kavernya. Apa coba, hubungan musim dengan ikan mas koki? Gimana pula ceritanya ikan mas koki bisa duduk dengan santainya?
Ketika saya membalikkan buku ini untuk mencari sinopsis yang umumnya mudah ditemukan, lagi-lagi saya bingung. Saya tidak menemukan sepatah kata pun yang bisa menjelaskan plot buku ini. Malah, saya menemukan kata-kata Seno Gumira Ajidarma dan puisi Sitor Situmorang.
Baiklah, saya pikir. Lebih baik saya langsung membaca saja buku ini, daripada sibuk menerka-nerka.

Tertarik untuk membeli dan membaca buku ini karena... apa lagi kalau bukan label pemenang sayembara novel oleh DKJ? Karena saya belum pernah mendengar nama pengarangnya. Gak berapa lama membaca, saya merasa dunia yang dekat dengan rekaan Jostein Gaarder dan Haruki Murakami. Preferensi musik dan bacaan sang pengarang terpapar jelas di bagian awal, pemaparannya serasa sedikit terlepas dari karakter dalam novel ini. Overall, novel ini menyenangkan untuk dibaca, apalagi kalau mengingat cerita ini dikembangkan dari secarik sajak "Surat Kertas Hijau" oleh Sitor Situmorang. Pengembangannya relevan.

Akhirnya selesai juga. Setelah dibawa plesiran dari Tangerang ke Solo sampai ke Tangerang lagi, baru selesai. Walaupun alurnya lambat dan paragrafnya panjang berbobot layaknya kisah klasik, aku bisa menikmati buku ini jengkal demi jengkal.
Setelah menebak-nebak bagaimana akhir kisahnya, aku seperti dibawa turun ke palung bumi lalu tiba-tiba diangkat ke langit cepat-cepat. Tebakanku sangat salah! Tak pelak menjadi pemenang Sayembara Menulis Novel DKJ.
