Windhy Puspitadewi

Buat cewek yang lahir tanggal 14 Februari ini, menulis merupakan caranya berbagi pikiran, perasaan, mimpi, imajinasi, dan cita-citanya dengan orang lain. Ia ingin tulisannya bisa menggugah dan menginspirasi pembacanya, sama seperti tulisan kedua tokoh yang pertama-tama menginspirasinya untuk menulis: almarhum Umar Kayam dan Jostein Gaarder.

Banyak yang mengira Windhy mengoleksi kutipan orang-orang terkenal (mulai dari Ralph Waldo Emerson sampai Detektif Conan) yang sering ia selipkan dalam novel-novelnya. Padahal sebenarnya ia hafal! Kata-kata yang bagus itu langsung menempel hingga sewaktu-waktu dibutuhkan, ia tinggal mencomotnya dari ingatan dan sesekali mengecek ke Oom Google supaya lebih akurat.

Pramoedya Ananta Toer

Pramoedya Ananta Toer was an Indonesian author of novels, short stories, essays, polemics, and histories of his homeland and its people. A well-regarded writer in the West, Pramoedya's outspoken and often politically charged writings faced censorship in his native land during the pre-reformation era. For opposing the policies of both founding president Sukarno, as well as those of its successor, the New Order regime of Suharto, he faced extrajudicial punishment. During the many years in which he suffered imprisonment and house arrest, he became a cause célèbre for advocates of freedom of expression and human rights.
