-- Pemenang Sayembara Menulis Novel Dewan Kesenian Jakarta 2012 -- “...ditulis dengan teknik penceritaan yang intens, serius, eksploratif, dan mencekam.” (Dewan Juri Sayembara Menulis Novel Dewan Kesenian Jakarta 2012) Surat Kertas Hijau Segala kedaraannya tersaji hijau muda Melayang di lembaran surat musim bunga Berita dari jauh Sebelum kapal angkat sauh Segala kemontokan menonjol di kata-kata Menepis dalam kelakar sonder dusta Harum anak dara Mengimbau dari seberang benua Mari, Dik, tak lama hidup ini Semusim dan semusim lagi Burung pun berpulangan Mari, Dik, kekal bisa semua ini Peluk goreskan di tempat ini Sebelum kapal dirapatkan Sitor Situmorang, 1953 Dari sebuah sajak, seorang penulis memindahkan suatu baris dan menjadikannya suatu judul, lantas melanjutkannya dengan kalimat demi kalimat, yang akhirnya terbentuk menjadi roman ini. Saya kira itulah cara yang baik untuk merayakan keberadaan kata, di tengah dunia yang lebih sering tak sadar bahwa kata itu ada, sehingga menyia-nyiakannya. Namun menulis bukanlah satu-satunya cara, karena masih ada cara lain untuk merayakannya, yakni membacanya. —Seno Gumira Ajidarma
