Title of Book:  The White Tiger
Author:  Aravind Adiga
Publisher:  Free Press

Set in a raw and unromanticized India, The White Tiger—the first-person confession of a murderer—is as compelling for its subject matter as it is for the voice of its narrator: amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

[Review] Kukila - M. Aan Mansyur

Title of Book:  Kukila
Author:  M. Aan Mansyur
Publisher:  PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama

Nak, dua hal aku benci dalam hidup: September dan pohon mangga. September tidak pernah mau beranjak dari rumah. Betah. Ia sibuk meletakkan neraka di seluruh penjuru. Di ruang tamu. Di ranjang. Di meja makan. Bahkan di dada.Batang pohon mangga tetap selutut persis prasasti batu. Ia berdiri mengekalkan dosa-dosa—dan dosa adalah pemimpin yang baik bagi penyesalan-penyesalan.
Kukila adalah perempuan itu, yang membenci September dan pohon mangga. Hidupnya didera rasa bersalah yang besar, kepada mantan suaminya, mantan kekasihnya, dan anak-anaknya. Kepada suratlah dia berbicara dan kepada pohon-pohonlah dia menyembunyikan masa lalu, karena rahasia, konon, akan hidup aman dalam batang-batang pohon.
