uthor Ayu Utami has released her new book Pengakuan Eks Parasit Lajang (Confessions of a Former Single Parasite), an autobiography on sexuality and spirituality written in the form of a novel.
“In this book, I explain in depth why I finally decided to marry. I met a single mother who became depressed over my decision,” the 44-year-old told a discussion on the book at Salihara community arts center in Jakarta on Tuesday evening.
The book is a part trilogy: a compilation of essays Parasit Lajang (Single Parasite) and Cerita Cinta Enrico (Enrico’s Love Story).
Ayu, who once proclaimed that she would never marry, tied the knot with photographer Erik Prasetya in 2011. She has also written other novels, including Saman, Larung and Bilangan Fu.
