Otopsi, dengan Degupan "&"

by Azrin Fauzi

Otopsi, dengan Degupan "&" merupakan himpunan esei debut Azrin Fauzi yang mengumpulkan tulisan seputar susastera & fotografi & sinema & senibina & teater & seni rupa & gastronomi & apa-apa sahaja di bawah matahari - untuk dia terus menyiasat. Semata-mata.

Bukan untuk menyelesaikan apa-apa. Semata-mata "pemerhatian peribadi”. Juga sebagai suatu "pendedahan sendiri". "Pemerhatian peribadi" terhadap teks yang rebah di hadapan dia. "Pendedahan sendiri” teks yang bangkit setelah dia. Tindak memerhati & mendedah ini sering sahaja didegupkan dengan "&".
