Noor Naga , author of If An Egyptian Cannot Speak English , spoke with Harry Cash, Bookseller at The Center for Fiction, in celebration of being shortlisted for the 2022 First Novel Prize. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, an Egyptian American daughter of immigrants nostalgic for the country she’s never lived in falls in love with a man she meets in Cairo who was a photographer of the revolution, but is now addicted to cocaine and living in a shack. When their relationship takes a violent turn, the fallout exposes the gaps in American identity politics and reexamines the faces of empire.

What was the first seed of this book? I know that excerpts of it were published in Granta in 2019; what was the process like of developing that story into the novel-length form?

It started as most of my projects do, with the voices. I began with the voice of the boy from Shobrakheit and I didn’t really understand what it was that I was writing. I was just kind of following it along and trying to understand who this character is, and who would speak in this way. One exercise that I often do when I’m at the beginning of a project and trying to decide who is speaking and what is the thing that I’m circling around, is that I try to translate what I’m working on into a question. I’ll take paragraph by paragraph and section by section and think, “What am I asking here?” Normally I take those questions out, but I liked the interplay, and the relationship between question and answer, so I pushed them a bit further and made them a bit stranger, and decided to keep them.

So, that’s really how it began. This nagging question or preoccupation or obsession was just how untranslatable ethics are across borders. What it means to be a good person, or a privileged person, or a marginalized person, or a good ally even, all of these things look so different and are so context-dependent. I was really curious what happens when you try to export values from a North American space to the third world, and to what extent do they apply. The same thing goes for when you’re trying to move from rural areas to urban areas, even with Egypt, the value system in the provinces and the villages is very different from the capital and these other urban centers. I was really curious what would happen when two people from such dramatically different worlds come together. How do they see each other? How do they see the place that they’re in? How do they understand their positionality in this new context? What are the things they miss or get wrong?

Something I was really struck by was how much vulnerability and shame and hyper-awareness of difference comes up through shibboleths. The perspective changes really highlight these rifts that have to be overcome or are not overcome by characters in the book. Was that your intention with the perspective changes, exploring those rifts and friction points?

Those markers of difference and non-belonging are something that I’m hyperaware of because I’m such an outsider in all of the places I live, even in places where it’s assumed I’m on the inside. I’m constantly perplexed and confused by different rules of engagement in different spaces. I’m also always aware of who is being excluded at any one moment—who is on the edge of the circle, who is outside the circle in order for us to feel that we are inside of the circle— and how we perform belonging.

With the different shifts in perspective between these two characters, it was really just a way to show what each of them was missing. What are they not getting? I wanted each of these characters to be as intelligent as possible. I didn’t want the reader in the position of greater awareness or greater knowledge or greater intelligence. I wanted them to be extremely sophisticated people in very different ways and coming from different knowledge traditions, and try to show even then that there is a gap, that there are things that are misunderstood or just missed. But there is also this constant attempt at being in the same space, at togetherness. For contextual reasons or circumstantial reasons, though, that’s not completely possible.

I kept thinking about this quote from an anthropologist while I was reading, where you should treat it as axiomatic that every member of a social group is a competent user of the social system that they’re in. What were your biggest challenges when writing this book?

One of the more difficult ones was how to be fair to each of these characters. I wanted them to be complex, but I didn’t want the reader to be able to fall easily into either villainizing or making heroes out of them. I wanted to keep a balance of goodness and weakness in each of them. That balance was really hard. Because it’s such a sparse novel, even the tiniest changes sometimes tipped too dramatically one way or the other, and I wanted people to be unsure how they feel. The ending was also difficult for similar reasons. I wanted to implicate myself in the end and I wanted to bring some metafictionality into the piece and I wanted the reader to be suspicious. I wasn’t always sure to the extent some of the experiments towards the end were working, and I’m not sure to be completely honest how much it worked

I really liked section three.

Okay, that’s reassuring.

It felt like, for me as a reader, this break where you got to process everything, in a way. I really enjoyed being walked through these different reactions and watching this grappling with the story played out by these other characters in the writing workshop. It was really quite lovely, I thought.

I’m so glad!

What are some of the larger conversations that your book is engaging with? I felt that part three really brings to the fore a lot of concerns about putting values in certain contexts in an interesting way.

I was thinking a lot about the short story, “Cat Person,” and its whole unraveling as I was editing. If you’re not familiar, a couple of years after the story went viral, this woman came out with this article that said she was “Cat Person,” this writer basically stole her life. This writer didn’t know her, but she knew of her and she had written this story getting so many details of this girl’s life correctly that as soon as this story came out multiple people messaged her and said, “Oh my god, is this you?” And the same thing with the guy from the story. Eventually, he plunged into a depression and committed suicide. So, I was thinking a lot about the real-world implications of using real life for inspiration for literature and the ethics of that and the problematics of that, and thinking about who gets to tell what kinds of stories, and what are the repercussions for those who are represented in those stories. What opportunities did those characters have to represent themselves, in what mediums, in what language, and to what audiences?

I was also thinking about the whole MFA industry in the United States and creative writing pedagogy and what axioms are tossed around in these spaces. Like, “write what you know” and even things like “show don’t tell,” which assumes that your audience has the tools to recognize what they’re being shown. What happens when you present a narrative outside of its original context to an audience that doesn’t have those tools or that value system? What kind of violence is possible in those contexts?

You were mentioning that the book is almost ambivalent about these characters, that it’s meant to be ambiguous about who is in the right and who is in the wrong. What interested you about that?

I think maybe I’m reacting against literature that is didactic, which is sort of the trend right now, at least in North American literature in minority voices. The premise, the point seems to be, “Look at this awful thing that has happened to us, oh woe unto us.” You know, “Look at how we struggle, look at how we fight back.” I’m all for political literature, but I’m very suspicious of those kinds of narratives and I find them really boring, uninteresting. I often wonder what is the purpose of this, who is this book for? Is it for people who already agree with this kind of narrative? Is it actually evoking change in the world? I don’t really know. I’m much more interested in literature that is balanced on the edge and that is asking questions. The writing that I love most leaves me with more questions. I’m a huge fan of J. M Coetzee. He does this incredibly well. He constructs these elaborate philosophical problems and you can hate certain characters, and you end up hating most of his characters, but there’s such sympathy for all of them. I find that really vibrates in the same way that I do.

This was one of the more formally inventive books I’ve read. I was wondering if there were decisions in creating the structure of the book that were provided by that thematic concern?

I had been initially trying to write two true voices, and trying to get at some kind of middle-ground truth. I showed the manuscript to a good friend of mine who is Egyptian and he immediately said, “Well of course you don’t actually have two voices, you have one voice. You’ll never get it right, you’ll never get the boy’s voice right. You can sort of lean into the girl, you’re close enough, but you’re too far from this guy and you’ll never get it right.” It was a tough call but I realized he was speaking to something, and so I decided to push that wrongness as far as I could and make it a part of the novel. I don’t know if that was so much a function of ambivalence as it was a function of my own awareness of the limitations of my imagination and the limitations of cultural appropriation generally, even within the same culture. What does it mean to step outside of your experience, how far can you actually step, what does that step look like? I think that a lot of this book was coming to terms with how far I can personally step or how far I wanted to step. I could’ve done more research, I could’ve gone to Shobrakheit, I could’ve spent more time with people there. But I felt the project would be doomed from the beginning in some way if I did.

To go back to part three, I thought involving yourself in that metafictional way was so interesting, because your character is present in that scene and is talked about as a writer, but you’re also completely erased from that section because that character doesn’t speak. Then the rest of the characters in the workshop, there was something so true and deeply American about these participants talking over each other and against each other about the book. How did you go about drawing those parallel collections to the misapprehensions that took place in the first and second parts of the book that get repeated in this third part?

I think that many of the members of the workshop are probably closer to where the girl was before she goes to Cairo. She arrives in Cairo with this kind of rhetoric in her mind, but I do think that she returns changed and is struggling to articulate what this change in ideology means. She’s not allowed to speak—this is a common practice in workshops and one that I spent a lot of time thinking about, this gag rule, and how useful it is to have the author of the piece sitting silently while others are interpreting or misinterpreting their work. I understand where it comes from because when you don’t have a gag rule, authors tend to step in and do the interpretation for people and get defensive. So, I get the spirit behind it but, in this case, I felt that the silence was not so much forced upon her as much as it was also a reflection of her own alienation.

Even in the short text that she reads from the missing part three, that is some evidence of how she feels in that moment, and you’re right in that everyone is competing to get it wrong. It was difficult because I wanted it to be obviously satirical. I wanted the reader to feel a strong disconnect from what they were hearing in this room. I wanted anybody who arrived in this room to feel like, “Wait a second, you guys are missing something,” and to be sort of irritated or uncomfortable or angry. I also didn’t want to tip into too much of a satire so that the characters become caricatures and it’s just sort of a parody of identity politics, because I understand where these characters are coming from and a lot of them are coming from spaces of personal trauma and frustration. So, they’re also not wrong, they’re just sort of missing something. They’re also caring for their friend. This is the person that’s in the room with them. They don’t know this guy, they read about him but they have a living breathing person in front of them who they’ve presumably been meeting up with for this whole semester and she’s saying this is something real that happened to her, and she’s obviously affected, and so it’s also a form of care, a form of tenderness, even if it’s misguided.

Since this book is your debut novel, what do you hope it says about you as a writer? What can we expect from you in the future?

I hope that readers will leave my book very suspicious of me, but I hope not turned off. I hope to always bring some sort of formal experimentation and levels of metafiction and self-awareness to my projects, so I hope that this is the direction I’ll be heading in, but I also don’t know. I’m writing something very different right now; there’s no metafiction at all, there’s no plot twist, so hopefully, readers won’t give up on me. This is what I’m hoping for.

Well, I really enjoyed the book. I’ve been on this weird kick of mid to late twentieth-century Latin American writing and there was a kinship that I felt in some of the formal choices, which I really enjoyed.

I’ve heard that from more than one person, actually. I definitely stole having a character named after myself from a bunch of different Latin American authors who seem very comfortable with it and who don’t find anything problematic about it. Like César Aira is always in there.

Roberto Bolaño is always Arturo.

Yup, he’s always in there, hanging out. I find that really fun and I don’t know many women who do it.

If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English

By Noor Naga

Published by Graywolf Press

In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, an Egyptian American woman and a man from the village of Shobrakheit meet at a café in Cairo. He was a photographer of the revolution, but now finds himself unemployed and addicted to cocaine, living in a rooftop shack. She is a nostalgic daughter of immigrants “returning” to a country she’s never been to before, teaching English and living in a light-filled flat with balconies on all sides. They fall in love and he moves in. But soon their desire—for one another, for the selves they want to become through the other—takes a violent turn that neither of them expected.

A dark romance exposing the gaps in American identity politics, especially when exported overseas, If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is at once ravishing and wry, scathing and tender. Told in alternating perspectives, Noor Naga’s experimental debut examines the ethics of fetishizing the homeland and punishing the beloved . . . and vice versa. In our globalized twenty-first-century world, what are the new faces (and races) of empire? When the revolution fails, how long can someone survive the disappointment? Who suffers and, more crucially, who gets to tell about it?

Review Novel Nuraga

Book. Sumber ilustrasi: Freepik

Artikel ini ditulis sebagai pemenuhan tugas Mata Kuliah Bahasa Indonesia dan juga memberikan review tentang novel Nuraga.

     Nuraga merupakan sebuah novel karya Sahlil Ge yang diterbitkan oleh Remember Me pada tahun 2019. Novel Nuraga ini bergenre romantis yang dikemas dengan nilai-nilai spiritual. Terdapat dua tokoh utama yaitu Astrid, Seorang gadis SMA kelas 12 yang berasal dari Kota, Astrid merupakan gadis yang cantik, sangat ambis, cerewet dan memiliki sifat manja. Tokoh utama yang kedua ialah Sultan, merupakan anak bungsu dari seorang Kiai pemilik pondok pesantren . Sultan dikenal dengan sikap dingin dan cueknya sampai ia diberi julukan untouchable . Disamping sikap dinginnya, Sultan juga cukup berbakat baik dalam bidang akademis maupun dalam bidang agama, ia juga merupakan seorang penulis yang hebat.

     Novel ini menceritakan tentang seorang gadis yang diminta ayahnya untuk pindah ke sebuah pesantren dalam rangka menyelesaikan jenjang SMA nya dan juga karena alasan ayahnya dipindah kerja. Awalnya gadis ini sempat menolak dengan berbagai macam alasan dan sempat melakukan negosiasi dengan ayahnya, namun keputusan ayahnya sudah bulat dan ia tetap harus masuk ke pesantren tersebut.

     Karena gagalnya untuk menolak permintaan ayahnya, gadis itu harus merelakan SMA sebelumnya, harus berhenti dari bimbel dan juga harus meninggalkan pacar kesayangannya. Hari pertama ia tiba di pesantren, ia memutuskan untuk keliling sekitar pesantren ditemani oleh teman sekamarnya. Saat sedang berkeliling ada satu momen yang mungkin sedikit memalukan yaitu ia berpapasan dengan seorang laki-laki yang baru keluar dari kamar mandi, sempat betatap-tatapan namun mereka akhirnya memutuskannya.

     Setelah kejadian tersebut muncul lah kejadian-kejadian yang dimana selalu mempertemukan antara Astrid dan juga Sultan. Astrid sangat berambisi untuk masuk ITB Jurusan Teknik Penerbangan, karena sempat terputus dengan bimbel sebelumnya akhirnya ia mencari bimbel di sekitar pesantren. Dan di hari pertama ia mengikuti kelas bimbel, satu fakta yang Astrid baru tau yaitu Sultan juga merupakan salah satu murid dikelasnya.

     Karena seringnya bertemu di bimbel akhirnya Astrid dan Sultan menjadi semakin dekat. Di acara empat bulanan istri Kiai Adam, ayah Astrid ikut menghadiri acara tersebut. Selain untuk menghadiri undangan, ayah Astrid juga datang untuk menyampaikan niat baiknya yaitu menjodohkan Astrid dengan Sultan. Namun berita ini hanya diketahui oleh Sultan sekeluarga saja, Astrid tidak mengetahui pasal perjodohan ini. Sampai disuatu momen ketika Astrid dan Sultan pulang dari bimbel, Astrid mengalami kecelakaan. Pacar Astrid yang mengetahui berita ini juga ikut menjenguk. Namun, niatnya terhenti karena Ayah Astrid melarangnya dan menjelaskan bahwa Astrid sudah di jodohkan. Kabar perjodohan tersebut akhirnya  sampai ke telinga Astrid.

     Kembali ke niat awal Astrid untuk kuliah di ITB, di pesantren terdapat program beasiswa kuliah ke Turki dan Belanda. Sultan ikut mendaftar dan menawarkan Astrid untuk mendaftar juga di tempat yang sama sebagai cadangan apabila tidak diterima di SBMPTN, dan akhirnya Astrid juga mendaftar. Menjelang pelaksanaan SBMPTN, ayah Astrid meninggal dunia dan terkuaklah alasan sebenarnya Astrid dimasukkan ke pesantren, yaitu karena ayah astrid menderita kanker paru-paru stadium 4, ia tidak ingin selama pengobatan putrinya tidak ada yang mengawasi dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk memasukkan putrinya ke pesantren.

     Wasiat dari ayah Astrid yaitu ingin putrinya menikah setelah lulus SMA dan akhirnya terwujud, Sultan dan Astrid resmi menjadi sepasang suami istri setelah mereka lulus kelas 12 dan keduanya pun diterima dalam program beasiswa kuliah ke Turki dan akhirnya mereka sama-sama menempuh pendidikan S1 disana.

"Ceritanya romantis banget tetapi tetap ada unsur-unsur agamanya, pokoknya bikin senyum-senyum sendiri pas baca." ujar Aida

YA Novel by Raegan Revord Coming in 2025

BY Michael Schaub • Feb. 14, 2024

Share via Facebook

Actor Raegan Revord will make her literary debut next year with a young adult novel.

Wednesday Books will publish Revord’s Rules for Fake Girlfriends in the fall of 2025, the St. Martin’s imprint announced in a news release. It says the novel “cleverly plays with rom-com tropes to deliver a heartfelt and satisfying read.”

Revord, 16, acted in episodes of the series Modern Family and Grace and Frankie before booking a starring role in Young Sheldon , the sitcom prequel to the hit show The Big Bang Theory .

She is an avid reader, and in 2022, launched her own book club, Read With Raegan , which has featured titles including Tess Gunty’s The Rabbit Hutch , Hayley Krischer’s The Falling Girls , and Kayvion Lewis’ Thieves’ Gambit .

Revord’s novel will follow Avery Blackwell, an 18-year-old woman whose late mother leaves her a photograph that serves as the first clue in a scavenger hunt. She enlists the help of a new friend—who begs Avery to pretend to be her girlfriend—on her search.

“I’ve been a fan of Wednesday Books since I began reading YA, so to have my debut novel be published under [publisher Eileen Rothschild’s] expertise and guidance has been a dream come true,” Revord said in a statement. “I am so excited for readers to go on this journey with Avery and her friends. Inclusive stories are more important now than ever and I’m excited to have been given the opportunity to share Rules for Fake Girlfriends with readers.”

Michael Schaub is a contributing writer.

Is bigfoot real a new book dives deep into the legend.

review novel nuraga

A person dressed as Bigfoot makes their way through the snow during a blizzard in Boston in January 2015. John O'Connor's The Secret History of Bigfoot explores the myth and its lingering appeal. Kayana Szymczak/Getty Images hide caption

A person dressed as Bigfoot makes their way through the snow during a blizzard in Boston in January 2015. John O'Connor's The Secret History of Bigfoot explores the myth and its lingering appeal.

My obsession with literature exploded in my early teens. Back then, my diet consisted mostly of whatever classics I could find, novels by Jules Verne, poetry by Mario Benedetti, and a lot of horror novels by Stephen King, Richard Laymon, and Bentley Little — all of which I was arguably way too young to be reading.

Then I discovered cryptozoology and went down a rabbit hole, consuming anything I could find about cryptids like Nessie, mokèlé-mbèmbé, and the chupacabras as well as animals that had jumped from cryptozoology to the pages of science books — the giant squid ( Architeuthis dux ) and the coelacanth. My favorite cryptid? Bigfoot. Books, documentaries shot with a $12 budget, shaky footage online; I couldn't get enough. I wanted to know more about it, but also about the folks who swore it was real, the people who had seen it, the devout researchers who spent countless nights out in the middle of woods looking for the famous creature I'd seen in the Patterson-Gimlin film (which is, along with the Zapruder film, probably one of the most scrutinized pieces of footage in history).

When I heard John O'Connor's The Secret History of Bigfoot: Field Notes on a North American Monster was coming, I knew I had to read it. My expectations were somewhere close to the exosphere — unfair, I know — but O'Connor surpassed all of them.

Cover of The Secret History of Bigfoot

If you're looking for a book that proves the existence of Bigfoot, look elsewhere. If you want a book that's all about discrediting evidence and making those who believe in Bigfoot look like mumbling fools wearing tinfoil hats, also look elsewhere. The Secret History of Bigfoot is a smart, engaging, incredibly informative, hilarious, and wonderfully immersive journey not only into the history of Bigfoot in North America and the culture around but also a deep, honest, heartfelt look at the people who obsess about, the meaning of its myth's lingering appeal, and the psychology behind it.

O'Connor, a journalist and self-diagnosed skeptic, is fascinated by Bigfoot, so he spent a year travelling around the country, talking to those who live for Sasquatch, and tracking Bigfoot in the untamed terrain of the Pacific Northwest. The book would've been interesting if O'Connor merely transcribed his interviews with those looking for Bigfoot. But his research and interviews also include psychologists and scientists — and he delves deep into everything from history and philosophy to politics and the flawed nature of memory. The result is one of the most compelling nonfiction books you'll read this year.

She wrote a Bigfoot book for kids. It was no small feat

Author Interviews

She wrote a bigfoot book for kids. it was no small feat.

There are two elements that make this is fantastic read. The first is O'Connor's voice. As knowledgeable as he is funny and as well-read as he is self-deprecating, O'Connor quickly turns into the perfect narrator for this adventure. His quest for understanding is powerful, and he presents every person in this book with the same gravitas. Yes, this is a hilarious narrative, but also a very serious and enlightening one in which O'Connor prefers to make fun of himself instead of making fun of others (except for folks who are convinced the election was stolen).

The Lore Of Bigfoot Lives On At North Carolina Bigfoot Festival

The Lore Of Bigfoot Lives On At North Carolina Bigfoot Festival

The second element is the breadth and scope of this book. This is about Bigfoot, about its history and the people trying to find him, but O'Connor somehow manages to take the discussion into unexpected places without ever straying far from the creature at the core of the narrative. Occam's razor, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the effects of unreliable witness accounts and racism in our legal system, pseudoscience and its appeal, "the magnetic tug of hidden things," and "the considerable gap between perception and reality" are all part of this book. So are Fernando Pessoa, Henry David Thoreau, M.C. Escher, Joseph Campbell, the Appalachian Trail, the movies Harry and the Hendersons and Predator, Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, and Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a full professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University who was always the voice of reason in many of those documentaries I used to watch. And those are only a few of the people, cultural products, and ideas in the book. O'Connor is brilliant in an engaging way. You'll learn things reading this book, but you'll never feel like he's trying to teach you something or preaching about his own beliefs.

The Secret History of Bigfoot is a wonderful book about one of the most ubiquitous myths in the U.S. and around the world: a wild man, a hairy beast stalking the woods, a magical creature that remains untouched by the mess we've made. It's also a celebration of one of the weirdest subcultures we have and a narrative that fully embraces the fact that we sometimes need to believe in something that's bigger and freer than us. Bigfoot, a large being stomping around in the woods, is all of that and more. He speaks to us of fear, sure, but also of magic and the wildness of nature. Bigfoot might be out there, but its presence is all over this book. Go look for it. I assure you it's an amazing adventure you can embark on without leaving your house.

Dylan Thomas in 1959.

Dylan Thomas: The BBC Radio Collection audiobook review – a spellbinding homage

Richard Burton’s reading of Under Milk Wood is the centrepiece of a collection of works written about and by the ‘rock star author’

I n the introduction to this remarkable collection of works by and about Dylan Thomas, the Welsh actor Matthew Rhys – who played Thomas in the film The Edge of Love – reflects on the life and legacy of “the 20th century’s first rock star author, famed for his dazzling, imaginative poetry and chaotic personal life”. Thomas, who influenced Bob Dylan and the Beatles , loved radio and delivered a series of BBC broadcasts in the 1940s and early 50s which took in poems, short stories, critical appreciations and reminiscences of his Welsh childhood.

Many of those recordings feature here, including Holiday Memory, a nostalgia-soaked portrait of a sunny August bank holiday in Swansea, and Quite Early One Morning, about a man’s dawn walk through the streets of a seaside town “like a stranger come out of the sea, shrugging off weed and wave and darkness with each step”. In A Visit to America, recorded weeks before the author’s death in 1953 at the age of 39, Thomas relives a recent US lecture tour awash with “exhibitionists, polemicists, histrionic publicists, theological rhetoricians, historical hoddy-doddies, balletomanes, ulterior decorators, windbags and bigwigs and humbugs”.

But the spellbinding centrepiece is Thomas’s Under Milk Wood, recorded in 1963, with its famous opening words: “To begin at the beginning.” Starring Richard Burton alongside an all-Welsh cast, it documents a day in the life of a fictional fishing village, opening on “a spring moonless night … starless and bible black” when the villagers are asleep and dreaming. Burton is in his element: solemn, declamatory, drawing out the musicality of Thomas’s language and savouring every word.

Buku karya Charles Duhigg “The Power of Habit” ada buku yang akan membawa kita pembacanya dalam pengendalian diri dan merubah pola pikir kita pembacanya ketika kita dihadapi dan menyikapi suatu keadaan. Charles Duhigg akan menjabarkan secara sistematis suatu sikap atau kebiasaan seseorang melalui sebuah kejadian yang akan terkait dalam diri orang tersebut. Diharapkan dengan membaca buku karya Charles Duhigg kita dapat kembali bersemangat memulai sesuatu dari “small step” untuk membangun kebiasaan baru yang lebih baik lagi. Di dalam buku ini Charles Duhigg menjelaskan pada tahap awal untuk membuat lingkaran kebiasaan yang dapat menjelaskan bagaimana suatu kebiasaan terbentuk menjadi hal yang otomatis dilakukan oleh suatu individu. Ada 3 tahapan dalam membuatnya yaitu tanda, rutinitas, dan ganjaran. Hal yang paling utama dalam membantu menciptakan sebuah pola pikir yang lebih sistematis pagi kita pembacanya. Charles Duhigg menjelaskan cara membuat pola kebiasaan dengan cara yang sangat mudah untuk kita pembacanya dalam pengaplikasikannya di kehdiupaan sehari-hari. Meskipun terlihat seperti buku yang akan berisikan hal-hal yang berat namun pembahasan yang dibawakan oleh Charles Duhigg tidak seberat itu dan mudah untuk kita pahami. Pada akhir buku ini Charles Duhigg akan mempertegas tentang perbedaan antara kebiasaan baik dan buruk dan kebiasaan suatu individu tergantung dari tingkat konsistensi mereka terhadap sebuah perubahan dan kontrol  terhadap diri sendiri.

Penulis Buku The Power of Habit:

Charles Duhigg,

Charles Duhigg lahir pada tahun 197 di kota Meksiko, Amerika. Merupakan seorang reporter investigasi di perusahaan “The New York TImes” Charles Duhigg kerap mendapatkan penghargaan seperti, National Academies of Sciences, National Journalism, TIm Hadiah Pulitzer 2009. Buku ini ditulis oleh Charles Duhigg untuk para pemimpin yang memiliki keinginan untuk meningkatkan kemampuannya dan untuk siapapun yang ingin mengubah kebiasaan diri menjadi kebiasaan yang berpotensi menuju keberhasilan

Review Buku The Power of Habit:

Bab utama dari buku karya charles duhigg,.

ini memaparkan bagaimana cara dari “kebiasaan” bekerja salah satu contoh dalam buku ini adalah seorang pria separuh baya yang menderita ensefalitis viral dimana penyakit yang disebab akibat dari jenis virus yang relatif tidak berbahaya namun dalam kasus-kasus yang langka virus itu bisa masuk kedalam otak dan hal itu dialami oleh Eugene Pauly yang mengakibatkan dia tidak dapat mengingat hal-hal hingga peristiwa yang baru saja terjadi, nama anak hingga peletakan benda-benda. Namun Eugene Pauly tetap mengetahui dan mampu menemukan jalan pulang ke rumah bahkan letak dapur di dalam rumahnya walaupun jika ditanya ia tidak bisa menjawabnya sama sekali dimana letaknya namun ia tetap mampu untuk menemukannya. Hal tersebut terjadi karena “kebiasaan” menurut para ilmuwan akan muncul karena kerja otak yang terus menerus mencari cara untuk menghemat upaya dan jika dibiarkan saja otak akan mencoba menjadikan nyaris setiap dari rutinita suatu individu sebagai suatu kebiasaan dan karena itu “kebiasaan” memungkinakan benak suatu individu untuk lebih sering bersanatai.

Bab kedua dari buku karya Charles Duhigg,

ini memaparkan cerita bagaimana terciptanya suatu kebiasaan baru dan memberikan contoh dari bagaimana brand pepsodent dapat mengungguli berbagai macam pasta gigi di masanya, bagaimana bran Febreze mampu mendobrak penjualan di antara berbagai macamnya produk pewangi saingannya di dunia. Hal itu dijawab dengan “kegiatan ngidam”.

Bab ketiga dari buku karya Charles Duhigg,

ini kita pembacanya akan dipaparkan oleh hal-hal yang menjelaskan bagaimana suatu perubahan bisa terjadi. Dalam bab ketiga ini Charles Duhigg akan menceritakan kisah Tony Dungy yang merupakan seorang pelatih football profesional dan menyatakan bahwa  menjadi juara tidak melakukan hal-hal yang luar biasa. Hal tersebut adalah hal-hal yang biasa hanya saja tanpa berpikir dan sedemikian cepat sehingga tim lawan tidak sempat bereaksi dan akhirnya mereka mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang mereka telah pelajari sebelumnya dipelajari.

Bab keempat dari buku karya Charles Duhigg,

akan mendapatkan jawaban dari kebiasaan mana yang paling bermakna dan pada bab keempat ini kita akan menemukan jawaban dari kisah O’Neill yang mampu menjadikan salah satu perusahaan terbesar, paling membosankan, dan paling berpotensi dalam menjadi mesin laba dan benteng keselamatan. Salah satu rahasia perusahaan ini adalah kepercayaan pada daftar.

Bab kelima dalam buku karya Charles Duhigg, 

Ketika suatu kekuatan dari “tekad” akan menjadi secara otomatis ada tema yang akan menjadi kunci penting dalam keberhasilan individu yang merupakan suatu kekuatan dari tekad yang besar.

Bab keenam dalam buku karya Charles Duhigg,

Kita akan mengetahui bagaimana para pemimpin-pemimpin dapat menciptakan suatu kebiasaan melalui suatu ketidaksengajaan dan kesengajaan dan dalam tiga bab selanjutnya akan dipaparkan bagaimana suatu perusahaan dapat memanipulasi “kebiasaan” bagaimana pergerakan yang terjadi dan apakah kita bertanggung jawab atas kebiasaan yang kita sebagai pembacanya punya? Buku The Power of Habit akan dipaparkan secara mendetail serta pemberian contoh yang nyata terjadi di dunia ini. Terutama sebagian dari kalian yang memiliki pemikiran kritis dan sedang mencari alasan di balik suatu masalah dan akan mengaitkannya dengan sains.

Buku The Power of Habit memiliki beberapa point penting didalamnya yang mencakup kebiasaan adalah rahasia keberhasilan, mengapa suatu perubahan terjadi, kebiasaan mana yang paling berarti,

kebiasaan adalah rahasia keberhasilan:

Bagaimana “kebiasaan” dapat membantu seseorang dalam meraih suatu keberhasilan dalam hidupnya. Kebiasaan terbagi menjadi dua, yang pertama adalah kebiasaan baik dan yang kedua adalah kebiasaan buruk. Kedua hal tersebut berdampak di dalam kehidupan ini. Baik dalam perspektif keberhasilan dimana pilihan kebiasaan yang mana yang individu ingin ditonjolkan dalam dirinya. Seseorang yang sukses tidak ada yang melakukan kebiasaan buruk.

mengapa suatu perubahan terjadi:

Suatu “kebiasaan” dapat terbentuk akibat dampak dari rutinitas dan rutinitas sendiri akan adanya suatu gejolakan atau suatu tanda yang muncul dalam pikirin seseorang. Rutinitas akan menghasilkan suatu ganjaran yang dibutuhkan oleh suatu individu. Seperti contohnya ketika kita memiliki kebiasaan untuk bermain sosial media terlalu sering dimana berdampak pada kehidupan kita dimana kita menjadi pribadi yang tidak produktif dan setiap merasa bosan (tanda) kita akan terbiasa untuk berlari untuk membuka sosial media  (rutinitas) untuk mendapatkan endorfin (ganjaran) yang memberikan hiburan. Kebiasaan ini akan berdampak kurang baik bagi kehidupan kita,

kebiasaaan mana yang paling berarti:

Dalam kehidupan ini adanya skala prioritas yang sama halnya dengan “kebiasaan” dalam meraih suatu tujuan tertentu kita perlu untuk merubah kebiasaan kita dan melalui tujuan yang ada kita bisa menentukan skala prioritas mengenai kebiasaan kurang baik seperti apa yang harus kita ubah, dalam buku The Power of Habit karya Charles Duhigg memberikan contoh kita harus mengubah kebiasaan dengan cara bangun lebih pagi, berolahraga, makan makanan bergizi agar tubuh kita tetap kuat dan sehat ketika menjalani aktivitas dan hal tersebut membuat suatu individu lebih produktif kedepannya.

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Buku The Power of Habit:

-Charles Duhigg dalam mengisahkan secara mendetail kehidupan dari tokoh dalam buku “The Power of Habit” dapat menggabungkan sumber-sumber yang membuat kita pembacanya dapat mengetahui kebiasaan para tokoh dalam buku ini secara rinci sehingga kita dapat terinspirasi dan merubah kebiasaan buruk dan melatih sebuah kebiasaan yang mendukung tercapai pada kesuksesan.

Kekurangan,

-bahasa dalam buku “The Power of Habit” versi terjemahan membuat buku ini bukan masuk ke tipe ringan dimana ada sebagian pembaca menjadi kurang tertarik dengan penjelasan ilmiah yang dipaparkan oleh Charles Duhigg dalam buku ini dan bagi sebagian orang akan merasa cepat jenuh dan kurang memahami pesan yang disamapikan oleh Charles Duhigg namun dalam buku ini juga terdapat gambar-gambar diharapkan dapat memudahkan pembaca agar lebih memahami pesan-pesan ya

Kesimpulan Buku:

Charles Duhigg menjelaskan dalam bukunya bahwa ketika suatu kebiasaan sejatinya tidak dapat diubah. Namun kebiasaan dapat diubah. Kebiasaan sendiri bernilai positif maupun negatif, tergantung dari setiap individu untuk menentukan kebiasaan mana yang ingin kita ubah untuk meraih tujuan hidup. Seperti yang sudah disebutkan diatas, dalam merubah suatu kebiasaan yang paling pertama kali diubah adalah rutinitasnya karena tanda dan ganjaran adalah awal dan hasil akhir. Mencari rutinitas alternatif menjadi kunci dari sebuah perubahan kebiasaan.

-Terdapat 3 proses dalam lingkaran kebiasaan dalam otak kalian, terdiri dari kalian, rutinitas dan juga ganjaran.

-suatu kebiasaan baru tercipta dengan menyatukan satu tanda, satu rutinitas, dan juga satu ganjaran, kemudian tumbuhnya perasaan keinginan atau “ngidam” yang akan mendorong lingkaran kebiasaan baru.

-dalam proses mengubah suatu kebiasaan kita sebagai pembacanya harus mempertahankan tanfa yang lama, diselipkan ganjaran yang sama juga serta selipkan rutinitas baru ditengahnya.

-menumbuhkan suatu tekad yang penuh, dengan berlatih menghemat energi kekuatan tekad di hari itu dan anggaplah kebiasaan itu ada di bawa kendali kita.

-dalam proses mengubah kebiasaan pastinya terkadang terasa sulit namun kita bisa membuat kerangka kerja dimana kerangka kerja merupakan titik awal untuk memulai kebiasaan baru.

Nah, itulah review buku karya mengenai Grameds.

Seperti yang dapat di lihat, terdapat berbagai poin-poin dan juga kesimpulan dari dampak kebiasaan baik dalam buku The Power of Habit karya Charles Duhigg akan membawa kita pembacanya dalam pengendalian diri dan merubah pola pikir kita pembacanya ketika kita dihadapi dan menyikapi suatu keadaan. Charles Duhigg akan menjabarkan secara sistematis suatu sikap atau kebiasaan seseorang melalui sebuah kejadian yang akan terkait dalam diri orang tersebut. Diharapkan dengan membaca buku karya Charles Duhigg kita dapat kembali bersemangat memulai sesuatu dari “small step” untuk membangun kebiasaan baru yang lebih baik lagi.

Jika Grameds ingin mencari informasi lebih dalam mengenai buku The Powe of Habit karya Charles Duhigg ini maupun buku-buku bergenre self improvement, kalian dapat membaca berbagai buku yang ada di Gramedia yang pastinya mudah dipahami dan kaya akan informasi.

A Tale of Midlife Love With a Bombshell Ending

LEAVING, by Roxana Robinson

Every love story needs an obstacle, someone or something that threatens to keep the lovers apart. What obstacles are suitable for a contemporary American love story? The writer of such a story may wish to avoid the over-communication, the tolerance (real or performed) and the jadedness that dispel romantic tension. Can lovers still be “star-crossed,” doomed from the start to labor under a “malign star”?

They can, says Roxana Robinson, in her elegant love story “Leaving.” (Robinson is the author of nine previous works of fiction, as well as a biography of Georgia O’Keeffe.)

Warren and Sarah, two 60-year-olds who were a couple in their youth, cross paths at performance of “Tosca.” Years ago, Sarah had contemplated marrying Warren, but decided he would be an unwise choice for a mate. The very things that make him charming once he reappears at 60 — his enthusiasms, his intense desire for intimacy — scared the young Sarah, and she put her chips on Rob instead. He turned out to be the wrong choice, and the marriage was a washout. When Warren and Sarah run into each other at the opera, they’ve got unfinished business.

The two live contented lives until this encounter. Warren is married, while Sarah, the parent of two grown children and long divorced from Rob, is wedded to her woodsy home, her solitude and her exceptionally human dog. But as the narrative moves smoothly between the two points of view, we watch them become astonished and changed by each other. The affair that follows is mature, even if it is destructive. Sarah, the product of an intensely upper-crust background, is a restrained woman who speaks in self-edited phrases. We appreciate her meta-knowledge of her position. To a friend who endured her own husband’s affair, Sarah points out, “I’m the other woman.”

We don’t dislike Warren’s wife, Janet, either, but we wouldn’t want to be married to her. She’s on the goofy side, overly literal, and “afraid of people unlike herself.” On the other hand, she doesn’t deserve Warren’s duplicity, as he tries to “execute his marriage without causing pain.”

All of the grown-ups in the book are rendered gently. Years after the affair, Warren writes his still-furious daughter, “I’ve done something to damage our relationship, but as you know I have done everything in my power to atone for what I’ve done.” Atone, he does.

Turns out, it’s Kat — Warren’s grown daughter — who is this love story’s antagonist. When Kat hears that Warren has decided to leave her mother for Sarah, she begs him, “Please don’t do it, Dad. You haven’t done it yet. Don’t. You’ll kill us. You’ll kill our family.” The daughter’s pain soon hardens into something more severe. Finally, Kat lays down her terms: “If you divorce Mom, I’ll divorce you. I’ll divorce you utterly.” What follows may strain the credulity of some readers, and feel uncomfortably realistic to others. We watch Warren waver in the face of exile from his only daughter. “He was a father more than anything, it turned out. He was that first.”

Kat’s demands are outrageous, and yet there is something logical about them. We aren’t “married” to our children, but we are involved in something deeply contractual. We can culturally situate Warren’s position as the end result of the current state of parenting — some would say over-parenting — that has become the norm of many families with the means and time for it. This intimacy that we had or tried to have with our children has a price, and leaves us more bereft without them. A parent of this style cannot retroactively invoke social imperatives of yore, when children were guilted into duty and continued contact.

Deep into the book, “Leaving” feels like a Westchester remix of Chekhov’s “The Lady With the Dog,” another story of adultery with a confrontation at the theater. Robinson’s storytelling is classic, page after page of swiftly moving scenes and writing as precise as rows of tilled earth. Robinson reworks the short sentence musically, repeating and returning until words yield their meaning. As a girl, Sarah had “never spent much time with boys; she found them mysterious. What did they want to talk about? What were women allowed to say? Disagreement was not permissible with her father; he disliked it. Don’t make a scene, her mother would say. What was permissible to say to boys?” At times, the characters’ restraint felt to me like that of another era. But I relaxed into Robinson’s masterly cadences and insights. After reading “Leaving,” and her 2008 novel of addiction, “ Cost ,” I’d read any story she has to tell.

I had hoped, because of my tender feelings for all involved, that this story would end with the same reassurances as Chekhov’s. But as it turns out, when Robinson says “Tosca,” she means “Tosca.” The ending is a bombshell, eminently discussable. This lithe novel engrosses. Robinson proves that writers can still evoke the silences and renunciations that thwart desire, and that stars still cross.
