Jujur ngerasa bersalah karena minat saya sangat rendah untuk menikmati sastra legendaris Indonesia. Alhasil, sampai sekarang saya masih asing dengan karya-karya penulis besar Tanah Air seperti NH Dini dan A. A. Navis. Membaca buku ini, dalam bahasa Inggris, justru semakin ironis rasanya hehehe. Tapi gapapa, justru pengalaman buku ini menghantarkan saya agar setidaknya mencicipi literatur bangsa, untuk kemudian rasa penasaran saya bertambah agar dapat membaca karya asli dalam bahasa Indonesia tercinta 👍🏻
