Die in der vorliegenden Anthologie enthaltene Kurzgeschichte Penghuni Kepalaku (Meine Kopfbewohner) erschien 2003 in der Tageszeitung Suara Merdeka. Die fiktionalen Texte Stefani Hids zeichnen sich häufig dadurch aus, dass aus der Sicht eines Ich- Erzählers (oder einer Ich- Erzählerin) persönliche Erfahrungen glaubhaft geschildert warden. Oftmals geht es um die Beschäftigung der Erzählerin mit ihrer eigenen Gedankewelt, die sie belastet.

Satu bintang untuk idenya yang tidak biasa, menyajikan variasi di tengah-tengah membanjirnya karya chicklit dan teenlit lokal, yang anehnya tidak satupun aku baca -mungkin pembelaan 'masa-masa itu telah lewat' bisa dipakai di sini hehe.

Bintang kedua diberikan karena kekonsistenan Stefani Hid untuk membuatku merasa takut seberapa jauh otak, lebih tepatnya pikiran, bisa bertindak atas kemauannya sendiri.

Dan setengah bintang, sayangnya di Goodreads tidak bisa setengah-setengah nih ngasi bintang, untuk ilustrasi Hagung Sihaq yang keren dan mengingatkanku pada Frank Miller.

Dan mumpung ingat, rasanya gak lengkap kalau tidak menyertakan percakapan yang cukup creepy antara dua karakter utama di film the Silence of the Lamb

***

Hannibal Lecter: I will listen now. After your father's murder, you were orphaned. You were ten years old. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And...?
Clarice Starling: And one morning, I just ran away.
Hannibal Lecter: No "just", Clarice. What set you off? You started at what time?
Clarice Starling: Early, still dark.
Hannibal Lecter: Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Clarice Starling: I heard a strange noise.
Hannibal Lecter: What was it?
Clarice Starling: It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.
Hannibal Lecter: What did you do?
Clarice Starling: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Hannibal Lecter: And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
Clarice Starling: Lambs. The lambs were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
Clarice Starling: And they were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: And you ran away?
Clarice Starling: No. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
Hannibal Lecter: But you could and you did, didn't you?
Clarice Starling: Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Hannibal Lecter: Where were you going, Clarice?
Clarice Starling: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the ranch again.
Hannibal Lecter: What became of your lamb, Clarice?
Clarice Starling: They killed him.

Those were my favourite lines, creepy indeed, between the bright young FBI agent Clarice Sterling and the infamous Dr. Hanibal Lecter. Throughout the short stories in this book, you'd aware how much your brain can do harm to others, and mostly, to yourself.

Membaca judulnya, saya berharap buku ini akan menampilkan cerita-cerita yang 'unik'. Tapi ternyata sama sekali tidak unik, hanya kumpulan cerita dari kepala yang dipenuhi kemarahan dan mengharap orang lain mengerti ke 'unik' kannya.

Beberapa cerpen awal buat saya cukup mengganggu dengan tokoh-tokoh 'sakit' dan penuh kebencian pada diri sendiri dan orang lain. Tokoh-tokoh ini bisa jadi cerminan isi kepala penulisnya, manusia yang menganggap dirinya dikutuk sebagai manusia paling sial dan hidup dengan setumpuk masalah. Dan berpikir keadaan itu membuatnya jadi 'istimewa'? Yea right.

Mungkin pula Stephanie menganggap dirinya Quentin Tarantino sedang membuat film satir tapi kok jadinya malah seperi tayangan Buser. Sepertinya Stephanie agak tersadar dan cerpen-cerpen di bagian akhir buku ini sudah agak berkurang kebrutalannya.

Stephanie oh stephanie....kalau mau marah-marah, tulis saja di buku harian. Sana, baret-baret tangan pake silet.

saya nggak mencapai klimaks membaca buku ini. entahlah, saya juga nggak ngerti. sampai cerita terakhir semua terasa datar, mengambang, juga remang-remang. tidak ada efek kejut. tidak sampai orgasme. *ini ngomongin apaan sih hehe...*
