Tajuk: Catatan Pengingat Buat Kawan
dan Lawan
Penulis: Azmi Sharom
Harga: RM 30* RM 27*
Sinopsis
Di sebuah daerah suatu masa dahulu, ada budak sekolah
yang mengimpikan syurga yang menghidangkan babi yang diperbuat daripada
agar-agar warna pink...
Di sebuah negeri si suatu masa lampau, ada anak muda yang tidak lagi mahu menjadi ahli kumpulan penzikir kerana dia mahu masuk kumpulan penyanyi...
Di sebuah universiti di masa depan, ada mahasiswa terpilih sebagai pelajar terbaik kerana berhasil membuktikan kebodohannya yang luar biasa...
Di zaman ini, silap-silap gaya mungkin ada menteri akan memperkenalkan undang-undang untuk mengharamkan orang lelaki daripada menyimpan rambut panjang kerana takut orang perempuan cemburu...
Azmi Sharom, penulis dan pensyarah muda yang digelar sebahagian kawan-kawan baiknya sebagai Professor Long Hair, telah bertahun-tahun menulis di media arus perdana, khususnya di The Star. Kebanyakan tulisannya memperingatkan orang tentang prinsip-prinsip kehidupan bernegara, selain menjelaskan persoalan undang-undang, demokrasi, politik, dan banyak lagi, dengan gaya mudah dan lucu agar orang dapat memahami persoalan-persoalan 'berat' dengan penuk nikmat.
Catatan Pengigat Buat Kawan dan Lawan ialah himpunan rencana-rencana terpilih Azmi untuk mereka yang berada di jalan perjuangan menegakkan demokrasi dan hak asasi; perjuangan yang, ikrar Azmi, akan diteruskannya "selagi saya masih bernafas."

Tajuk: Found in Malaysia Vol.1
Harga: RM 45* RM 40*
Sinopsis
Just what does
it mean to be a pendatang? Does being a pendatang mean that you forfeit any
sense of ownership upon this land? Who counts? Or rather, who does not? And
more importantly, does it even matter? Because we Malaysians are, after all, a
hodgepodge of races, not easily classifiable, or even quantifiable.
Found in Malaysia explores this contentious and political issue, at a critical juncture in our nation's history, in an attempt to reveal who Malaysians are and who the pendatang are among us.
These are Malaysians who do not fall neatly into the official racial or religious categories. They are united – despite the fifty-year age difference between the oldest and youngest candidate – by their shared diversity of backgrounds and beliefs, and by their stories and aspirations that cut across racial and religious barriers. They are – all of them – truly Malaysian.
In this compilation of 50 meticulously selected interviews from the news and analysis website, The Nut Graph, notable Malaysians share memories of growing up in this pre- and post-Independence Malaysia; they offer tales of their ancestry and historical origins; recount cherished anecdotes from relatives and loved ones; and articulate their hopes and dreams for Malaysia's future.
This collection features interviews with personalities such as Tiara Jacquelina, Datuk Sheila Majid and Chef Wan; AirAsia's CEO Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes; directors Jo Kukathas, Zahim Albakri and Bernard Chauly; and politicians Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, Sivarasa Rasiah, Datuk Shahrir Samad and Nurul Izzah.

Tajuk: Found in Malaysia Vol. 2
Harga: RM 50* RM 45*
Sinopsis
In this second
volume of Found in Malaysia, The Nut Graph continues to ask the question of
what it means to be "pendatang" in Malaysia. Drawing on the oral
histories and memories of notable Malaysian personalities, this book provides a
rich narrative of what it means to be Malaysian. Except for the indigenous tribes,
the stories of mixed ancestries, memories, struggles, dreams and aspirations in
Found in Malaysia provides evidence that being of migratory stock is part and
parcel of being Malaysian regardless of whether one is Malay. Chinese, Indian
or Dan Lain-lain.

Tajuk: Malaysian
Tales : Retold & Remixed
Harga: RM 33* RM 30*
Sinopsis
Fables and fairytales. Myths and legends. They are an
integral part of our heritage; of the legacy of our forefathers. Handed down
from generation to generation. Passed on by word of mouth. Lamplight stories
that quietly and cleverly skirt that fine line between childish fantasy and
profoundly penetrating philosophy.
This stunning new collection features 16 classic tales as reimagined and retold by some of Malaysia’s brightest raconteurs. They spin stories that are steeped as much in mythology and magic as they are in metaphysics. Fictions that delve into the power of history and fable, that open our eyes to their importance, that are a testament to the enduring nature of our oral tradition. These are tales so immersive, so enticing, so welcoming, that you'll never want to click your heels and wish for home.

Tajuk: Tapai : Travels & Guilty
Pleasures of a Fermented Malaysian
Penulis: Hishamuddin Rais
Harga: RM 45* RM 40*
Sinopsis
In an age where food has become entertainment television,
the wit and wisdom of Hishamuddin Rais is like a proper kitchen knife - always
sharp. This wandering bon vivant and former Malaysian exile does not (yet) have
his own TV show, choosing instead to record his amazing adventures in writing.
This handpicked collection from his column Tapai in Off The Edge magazine
presents a way of looking at the world beyond our food fetish and its lifestyle
trappings.
Rais' grand unified theory of everything links his life on the lam with more recent encounters: a seedy cafe in Pudu, Christmas in Bangladesh, stalking Akira Kurosawa (posthumously), working in soup kitchens, and discovering a place that sells diamonds and nouvelle cuisine. That's just for starters. In between this all, he arps time to meet the Darai of the band that accompanied the raising of the Jalur Gemilang on 31st August 1957, amongst other wonderful people.
Naturally, lusty food marks this ageless hippie's quest: mutton and duck stew Acehnese-style, Ramly burgers, fois gras, truffles, oysters, caviar.... Rais takes the reader on a life-affirming trip that nourishes the soul, like the best tapai in ferment.

Tajuk: Teohlogy ( The word according to Patrick Teoh )
Sinopsis:
f there’s one truly authentic Malaysian voice expounding
on all that he loves and hates in this multicultural, maddening country, it’s
Patrick Teoh. With his trademark razor-sharp wit, Teoh, in his aptly-named
Teohlogy articles (previously published in the now defunct Off The Edge magazine
from the years 2005 to 2010), shares his views on Malaysian life, topical
affairs and issues that concern the ordinary Malaysian, with a generous
sprinkling of realism, humour and provocation.
Some call him a cynic (or an old grump, or a … never mind, it’s a long list!) but Teohlogy is all about telling it as it is, warts and all. Be it the farcical antics of politicians or the perils of public transport, Teoh’s candid, no-holds-barred perspectives will not only have readers chuckling in recognition but also realising the obstacles of a young nation like Malaysia.
From his hilarious catch phrases dunked in Malaysian sirap bandung to his digs at the powers-that-be and Malaysians themselves, Teohlogy presents a Malaysia with all its flaws – but hopes that we will not give up trying to understand the idiosyncrasies of this beguiling country. Can-ah?
