notabene:
hebatnya si John McGlynn ini nulis tentang Lontar dan dirinya!
Lontar katanya "organisasi independen yang gak berafiliasi dengan ato 
bertujuan mempromosikan kepentingan politik ato kelompok tertentu"!!!
dia pikir awak lupa bahwa Lontar mengorganisasi perayaan satu tahun 
pemboman gedung WTO di new york itu di Galeri Cipta II TIM dengan 
pameran foto dan video tentang peristiwa tsb plus pembacaan buku 
terjemahan karya sastra Indonesia yang bersetting Manhattan, USA! 
penerbitnya ya jelas Lontar, hahaha... bo'ong mulu kelompok antek-
antek Gedung Putih ini!!! sementara tentang dirinya baca aja tuh 
pujian selangit atas buku tentang "Suharto" yang dia tulis bersama 
kawan-kawannya dan yang dia terbitkan sendiri lewat Lontar-nya!

Lontar Foundation

>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

The Lontar Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in 
Jakarta, Indonesia, was founded in 1987 by four Indonesian writers: 
Goenawan Mohamad, Sapardi Djoko Damono, Umar Kayam, and Subagio 
Sastrowardoyo and the American translator, John H. McGlynn.

The foundation is an independent organization, neither affiliated 
with nor intended to promote the interests of any particular 
political cause or group. The Foundation's core activity is the 
translation and publication of Indonesian literary works for use in 
the teaching of Indonesian literature and culture abroad.

One of the more significant ventures of the publishing venture was 
the book published in 2005 - Indonesia in the Soeharto Years - 
Issues, Incidents and images - written by John H. McGlynn and a large 
number of other writers - in its thoroughness and coverage - it is 
probably the most fitting requiem - visually and textually for the 
Soeharto
