A Quick Visit to the National Library

After landing in Jakarta on the morning of November 29, 2024, I had a few hours to spare before my meeting at PFN (Perum Produksi Film Negara). I decided to take a quick detour to the National Library, and this time, I was with Pak Budi, which made the visit even more enjoyable.

The library’s modern design and peaceful ambiance were the perfect way to ease into the day. We wandered through the well-organized shelves, taking in the vast collection of books. The quiet surroundings allowed us to reflect for a bit, providing a refreshing break before diving into the busy schedule ahead.

It was a short visit, but one that I found both calming and inspiring. After our brief exploration, we made our way to PFN, ready to tackle the meeting with a sense of peace and focus. It’s always nice to add a little bit of culture to a hectic day, and the National Library was the perfect spot for just that!

Sunset in Bogor

I didn’t know the hotel I booked comes with this kind of view. From the rooftop of Royal Hotel Bogor, some side of the city opens wide. As you can see in the distance, Gunung Salak stands calm against the evening sky. The Cisadane River is shimmering quietly, winding through neighborhoods that has already begun to dim. Looking downward, train tracks run like a quiet underline to the day’s last sentence. Last bu not least, the sun is dipping lower. No rush. No drama.

The Story Behind "Contemporary Literary Studies"

Yunita Nugraheni and I created "Contemporary Literary Studies" as a comprehensive guide to modern literature for students, researchers, and educators. Published in 2021 by Unimus Press, the book reflects our dedication to making contemporary literary analysis accessible and engaging. We explore themes and genres of modern literature, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical tools. To bridge theory and application, we included examples, case studies, and questions to spark critical thinking. Highlighting diverse voices and cultures, we aimed to connect readers with the global human experience through literature. Working with Yunita was enriching, as her insights brought depth to the book. Since its release, it has become a valued resource in classrooms and libraries, and hearing how it has inspired readers has been deeply rewarding. Discover "Contemporary Literary Studies" on Google Books or through Unimus Press. I look forward to your feedback!
