Disember

by Amal Hamsan, Acap Rahman

"Bagaimana ia boleh terjadi dalam sekelip mata. Seperti malam yang hilang ditelan tengahari. Disember sudah di sini sebelum Jun. Bagaimana masa berlalu begitu cepat? - Dr Seuss

Keluhan semalam kau hilangkan. Duka semalam kau buangkan. Marah semalam kau campakkan. Kerana Disember sudah di sini.

Disember was published as a part of a series of books titled by month. And I was under the impression that the content would be somehow related to the month itself, or how the writers interpret the month. As it turns out, the only thing Disember about the book is the title.

Not sure what the writers were interpreting as Disember, or it was meant to not be anything about Disember but I feel like it should be made clearer to the readers. If you wanted to just insert an anthology of randomness, it should have been named anything else rather than choosing something so specific.

Putting my problem with the book title aside; the short stories and poems were not bad and in fact some of it were really good. But it wasn't great especially after being pampered by Fazleena Hishamuddin's Bibir Ceri Melati. An okay book, nothing more. Watch out for "Izah" the best short story in the book.

ermmm..Kisah pendek berselang-seli dengan puisi. Susah nak fokus kerap kali aku hilang punca dan terpaksa berpatah balik kerana terlupa apa yang sedang aku baca ni haha. Aku rasa aku suka gaya penulisan Amal Hassan ni,semenjak aku terbaca Seyogia.Tu je lah.Pilih buku ni pon sbb nampak nama dia.

Mungkin buku buku mcm ni sudah bukan untuk aku.
Atau
Mungkin di hati aku sudah tiada lubang lubang resah.

Jika dibandingkan dengan Oktober, kata kata di dalam Disember lebih matang. Bahasa puisi indah. Paling menggeletek hati ialah prakata dr abam leplep! Tak pernah menghampakan.

Antara sebab aku beli buku ni adalah sebab aku suka Amal Hamsan. Sebab dia tulis Seyogia dulu best. Aku tengok muka depan buku ni diterbitkan tahun 2014. Ada cerpen, puisi dan anekdot. I was crazy about these kind of things when i was in my 20s. Sebab aku suka baca benda benda jiwa macam ni lepas tu pause kejap kejap and berangan. But me, reading this in 2022 and already in my 30s, dah tahu yang sebelum dapat angan angan tu kena jatuh dulu bangun balik happy sedih tak tentu hala poket kosong kerja keras tak boleh goyang kaki, baru dapat angan angan tu. So, cerita dalam buku ni dah tak se feel dulu.

Mungkin bukan buku yang salah, mungkin aku membacanya pada waktu yang salah.

Gabungan dua penulis yg hebat..Cerpen n Puisi yg hebat..Karya Amal Hamsan mmg tak disangkal lg,punya aura yg sama dan menghiburkan pembaca.. Acap Rahman juga tiada bezanya,sgt deep..
