I am extremely skeptical that "reading books" is enough to be able to gain anything useful out of it. You need to write. Your writings will be the evidence that you understood something from the book. More likely, it will be evidence that you understood nothing about the book

Di Jogja, denyut nadi perbukuan terus berdetak. Upaya untuk menerbitkan buku terus lahir dari kantor penerbit mayor maupun alternatif. Dalam oplah besar maupun kecil. Baik naskah lokal, maupun terjemahan.
Gairah untuk membawa suara dari luar tak kalah menarik. Para penerjemah berusaha menerjemahkan karya dunia, agar bisa terbaca lebih dekat.
Buat teman-teman yang tertarik dengan seluk beluk terjemahan, terutama pemula, kami membuka kelas kecil untuk mendiskusikan hal-hal berkait penerjemahan. Dua penerjemah akan membagikan pengalaman mereka, dalam menangkap maksud dan mencari padanan kata dalam proses terjemahan.
Segera tayang di Indonesia, film "Rencana Besar untuk Mati dengan Tenang (My Own Last Supper)" yg diangkat dr novel saya yg berjudul sama lolos sbg film perwakilan Indonesia utk berkompetisi dlm Golden Goblet Award "Shanghai International Film Festival" 2026.
Mohon doanya. 🙏🥺
Cerita-cerita karya Awi Chin di buku ini ditulis untuk mereka yang dilupakan, yang dikaburkan dalam dokumen, yang dimakamkan tanpa nisan, yang dipaksa hilang oleh sistem yang rusak dan negara yang tak hadir.

Mieko Kawakami has openly criticized Murakami’s portrayal of women while still expressing admiration for his work. The problem with some of you is this insistence on viewing literature in black and white as though other readers are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Yáng Shuāng-zǐ and Lin King have won this year’s International Booker Prize with TAIWAN TRAVELOGUE!
This marks our second International Booker win in a row (!!!), following the success of Deepa Bhasthi’s translation of Banu Mushtaq’s HEART LAMP in 2025.
This movie is truly excellent.
It tells the poignant story of Han Chinese from Chaoshan, Guangdong, who went to Southeast Asia to make a living in last century. Generation after generation, these Chinese people, even in the most difficult circumstances, never forgot to teach their children the Chinese language and culture. Although the story takes place in Thailand, it reminds me of the hardships and perseverance of Chinese education in Malaysia over the past hundred years.
Today, the whole world is learning Chinese, traditional Chinese culture in Southeast Asia, however, faces another kind of danger—exemplified by the so-called "elite" Chinese in Singapore who have betrayed their own heritage. These people abandon their bloodline and traditions, embrace the decalying Western values, and even adopt the Indian backward practice of eating with their hands. And they think they are superior than others and they are "elite"? What a group of idiots! These people need to be swept into the garbage dump of history!
