Novel perdana Ngarto Februana ini bercerita tentang
nasib seorang bocah yang lahir dan tumbuh di kampung pelacuran. Karena tak
betah, si bocah minggat. Setelah dewasa ia kembali, dan memulai pertarungan demi
pertarungan. Ia bertarung
dengan "kelelakiannya": jatuh cinta pada seorang pelacur. Bertarung entah atas
nama dendam masa lalu atau memprotes kesewenang-wenangan. Dan bertarung dengan makhluk

melupakan segalanya....

Novel berlatar budaya suku Dayak, di Pegunungan
Meratus,
Kalimantan Selatan. Dengan membaca novel ini, kita banyak belajar tentang suku yang
sebelumnya tidak pernah kita kenal. Lengkap dengan pelukisan upacara ritual. Juga tentang
horor pemenggalan kepala. Ada pula pertarungan kepentingan antara pengusaha HPH dengan
suku yang senantiasa terasing itu. Lalu bagaimana nasib Utay, putra kepala
suku, yang
mengkhianati tanah leluhurnya demi ambisi pribadi?
Cetakan I September 2002; Cetakan
II April 2003. Penerbit Media Pressindo, Yogyakarta 174 halaman.
Tapol merupakan novel
yang didasari oleh fakta sejarah. Dan ini diolah oleh penulisnya dengan sangat
baik. Dari situ kita dapat membaca sketsa tragedi manusia yang terjadi dalam
lingkaran peristiwa sejarah manusia Indonesia yang tragis, yaitu G30S/PKI, 1965.

Dear Norchi,
First of all, I convey my sweetest regards for you. I have
received your latest letter through Lina. Thanks for this and thanks so much for
"commitment" which you enclosed in it. I have also received the other letter of
yours on February 13 and I have answered it. Actually I have twice sent any letters to
you. First I sent the letter on January 16 and the second on on February 18. But I am
afraid that those letter never reach you. Perhaps, my letter was confiscated by post
official. In my latest letter, before this letter, I have told about the comrades who were
arrested. I told you fully, including how the comrades were tortured. They were arrested
for 36 hours. And now they are fine. Thanks for your deep sympathy.
And I wonder how you are. I am so sorry you are ill. I hope
you will be really yourself again soon. Frankly, I am really afraid that you are sick.
Meanwhile, here I am very well. There is not anything what need worried. Everything’s
settled.
Norchi, I think your problem regarding the lack of finance
is similar with us. We also face up to the one to operate the political work of
organization. So we must try hard to solve our problem. We really hope the problem
won’t diminish our zeal in the struggle for national liberation and genuine
democracy.
By the way, as long as you know, the political situation
during the general assemble of the People’s Consultative Assembly very repressive
here. And we so disappointed, because Soeharto is elected as president for the coming five
year. I can’t tell you how disappointed my heart.
And now we have been stressing on consolidation of
organization, in particular SMY and SSDI. Apart from that we also prepare the education
material for new members so that they’ll have got an understanding on the struggle
line and the clear politics line, that is national democracy.
So what do LFS current do? I hear from Munif that LFS shall
hold the annual meeting. Is it true?
My friend, what about your problem regarding your family
situation? And how is your studies and any other personal life of yours? I sure that your
problem won’t attenuate your commitment in movement. I hope so.
I think I have to end up now. I look forward to receiving
your letter back. My warmest regards to Amante.
Ngarto Februana
