It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves. So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them. This contains spoiler of course. Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born. The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....
Balinese woman - taken by husband in Ibu Susu cafe Karena sendirian dan penasaran, berjalanlah kaki ini menuju Blanco Museum. Seorang daku yang ga paham soal lukisan (mertua gw pasti demen kalo dibawa kesini), mendatangi sebuah museum yang berisikan lukisan (?). Ceritanya sih Antonio Blanco ini ke Bali sekitar tahun '52, kemudian Raja Ubud yang baik hati memberikannya sepotong tanah untuk dijadikan rumah dan studionya. Letaknya ya di tempat museum ini berada, di seberang Tjampuhan. Btw di Tjampuhan ini dulu si Walter Spies juga punya rumah yang akhirnya pindah karena udah terlalu "berisik" banyak pengunjung. Ubud ini sepertinya magnet buat pekerja seni banget (atau seluruh Bali?). Blanco punya anak 4 dan yang mewarisi bakatnya cuma satu katanya. Dan Blanco meninggal akhir tahun 90an di usia yang cukup tua, sekitar 80 sekian. Coba kalau mau info lebih lanjut soal Blanco bisa datengi web nya aja disini . Nah apa yang kutangkap dari melihat fotonya Pak Blanco ini...
