"To paraphrase Lisa Snellings, I didn't make any conscious choice to do comedy. I've simply been drawn to it over and over." --Isman H. Suryaman
Isman is an Indonesian humor writer who likes to poke fun at himself and question things that few people care to mind. Such as: + What does it mean when your dog starts singing Nessun Dorma?
+ In wedding receptions, where do telepathic communications occur the most?
+ How can a 21-month-old baby be a good presidential candidate?
+ And when do we need to lose our weight for the sake of the world?
Bertanya atau Mati! is his first book, published by PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama. This collection of humorous essays represents Isman's self-deprecating humor, which not only tickles his readers to laugh, but also to think.
Currently, Isman lives in Bandung, West Java, with his romantic partner, Primadonna Angela, and two kids who will either drain his strength to death or give him enough materials for another book (or two).
His partner is also an accomplished writer. Together, they published a flash fiction anthologi titled, Jangan Berkedip! (literally: "Don't Blink!").
