This book in Bahasa Indonesia is called Sipitak. Unfortunately, I don't know neither author's name nor publisher.<BR/>I'm certain it's already out of publication (after all, i'm pushing 50), but who knows?<BR/><BR/>Sipitak is like yr enid blyton series. He is a bald-headed kampung boy, raised by his mother and grandparents. The book relates his adventures, kids stuff.<BR/><BR/>Sharon, it's a heart-warming book, i guess like your anne of green gables and the like. I learnt frm these books indon works like sepeda (bicycle), paman (uncle/guardian) etc. <BR/><BR/>In my family we don't throw away books. But I think we must have lost Sipitak somehow.<BR/><BR/>Someone out there must know this book, or you might have some contacts in the indonesian publications industry. <BR/>Thanks in advanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-85154108634827720672007-05-23T17:46:00.000+08:002007-05-23T17:46:00.000+08:00Sorry Symp, but doesn't the fact that a book exist...Sorry Symp, but doesn't the fact that a book exists mean that it's achievable ? why would anyone need a reading for that ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-85884950782526438452007-05-22T18:01:00.000+08:002007-05-22T18:01:00.000+08:00well done, liyana! you can sell copies there too ...well done, liyana! you can sell copies there too so it will be a good platform for youbibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-87547441833448814062007-05-22T17:43:00.000+08:002007-05-22T17:43:00.000+08:00oh hey cool. that would coincide really well with ...oh hey cool. that would coincide really well with my zine/chapbook that's coming out in june. finally, a 'body of work' that isn't online!<BR/><BR/>- LiyanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-12838139944862971022007-05-22T11:18:00.000+08:002007-05-22T11:18:00.000+08:00Hurrah for free wine!

This serves to make a participant realise that writing is not some airy-fairy act but one that's achievable, albeit after a lot of sweat and tears. It helps a participant connect with the author, and so hopefully will provide an impetus to write - but only if the author-reader keeps it short, entertaining and reads well. A grave sin and a great lack of manners is to exceed the time given for a reading segment as this is a disrespect to a)the organisers, whose schedule has now been completely thrown out of whack b) the other author-readers still waiting to read and c) the audience<BR/><BR/>The discussions after a reading are, I feel, the best reason to attend a reading. That's when the craft and art of writing can be analysed, commented on, argued about, etc...Poppadumdumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763910123949254981noreply@blogger.com
