Because I am a straight person, I want him to be one too so we would always be attracted to each other. I didn’t want him to think that I encouraged him to be a homosexual.
I didn’t want to give the novel to the one who was on my mind automatically when reading the title of the book. However, when reading the beginning pages of chapter one, and I found that it was about homosexual love (and it made me glad because at last I found the novel I was looking for after reading the review in one national newspaper some months before), I cancelled to buy two. One was for myself, and the other one was for the one that was automatically on my mind when reading those two adoring poems. I wanted to buy two novels instead of just one. These two poems were enough to provoke me to buy the novel. When I opened the beginning pages, I found another poem that is also very romantic and adoring. What a very romantic and adoring poem, from someone to a man-the most beautiful (well, I’d prefer to translate it into ‘gorgeous’ a word that is more androgynous) one. LOL.įirst, I read the poem on the back cover.
This is one thing that my Abang doesn’t like AT ALL. (well … honestly, I am impressed by her open sexual drive, and wonder if I could become like her. When looking at the drawing on the front cover, my up and down teeth directly clicked, “Wow …” I saw a part of sexy body of a man that I believe would make women’s mouth like Samantha Jones-one character in Sex and the City-water openly. Some months later, when I went to a bookstore with Julie, she appointed the novel to me, saying, “Look, isn’t the title provoking?” FYI, ‘indah’ means beautiful, how could a man become beautiful? After appointing the novel, Julie went to other shelves while I took the novel from the shelf. Therefore, when trying to find it in one bookstore, I didn’t find it.
But, my bad thing is, I didn’t note the title and I forgot it easily. These two names are commonly found in school books-from elementary, junior, and senior high schools-in Indonesia.Īt first I read the review of this book in one national newspaper. For those who don’t really follow the development of novel publication in Indonesia and Indonesian authors-that mean they never hear this name yet-Andrei Aksana is the grandson of big poets Sanoesi Pane and Armijn Pane. Lelaki Terindah is the title of a novel written by Andrei Aksana.
