Title: Manusia setengah Salmon Author: Raditya Dika Publisher: Gagas Media Length: 264 pages Year of Publication: 2011 Born into the world on December 24, 2011, Man Half Salmon are present while accompanying the turn of the year. The moment when people partied to celebrate the transition from the old year into the new year. Man Half Salmon successfully take the point of 'displacement' is a very elegant and touching. As in previous books, Raditya Dika retaining material plus viscous humor style that is typical in Salmon's book Half Human. Funny, eccentric, and certainly entertaining. Also a source of inspiration remains the same, the literary life of the author's own. Therefore, this book belong to the category of personal literature or commonly called stingy. However, there is one thing that makes this book look different from the previous books. Man Half Salmon is not just a mere comedy novel. Not just a collection of jokes that are not meaningful sentences. This book includes elements of social life in her humor. Tells about a wide range of real sad thing there is a gap and the lessons we can take from these things. One of the parts that are excellent when Raditya Dika was trying to tell about his anxiety as he had just been abandoned by her lover. Just like most people, the first thing you feel when a breakup is sadness, unhappiness, and disappointment. But Man Half Salmon convinced that not all things have to end up with a painful sadness. As in the story entitled Piece Chocolate Heart in the cardboard. Tells the story of two events are the same but different contexts, breakups and moving house. Contextually, there is no similarity between the two. But this book clearly explains that the two events are the same. Yes, displacement. Dika Raditya likens breakup as well as moving house. A time when a person should be able to clean up this mess and put it in a cardboard box tied untu later and never know when the box is opened. Just like a breakup is not it? So smart, anxiety is directly routed through a dialogue between characters by slipping some mild jokes totally mellow fade effect of the story. Until the end, the story of 'displacement' concludes with a brief paragraph. One point which again makes this book is highly recommended to read the story of the placement order. The author manages to make the reader feeling up and down. Not only sad, and not merely guffaw. There are times where a story is included in the category of heartwarming stories placed adjacent to pure comedy. Can be called a game flavor.
