In The Art of Solitude, Desi Anwar’s musings and random thoughts captured during the time of Covid shows us that solitude is neither torment nor an affliction to be feared and avoided. When embraced in its fullness, it becomes an art that is both enlightening and therapeutic. Rosemarie Milsom talks to Desi Anwar about her views on solitude, her life as a renowned Indonesian national broadcaster in television journalism and her published work.

Dalam The Art of Solitude, renungan dan pikiran acak Desi Anwar yang ditangkap selama masa Covid menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa kesendirian bukanlah siksaan atau penderitaan yang harus ditakuti dan dihindari. Ketika dirangkul, itu menjadi seni yang mencerahkan sekaligus terapeutik. Rosemarie Milsom berbincang bersama Desi Anwar tentang pendapatnya pada kesendirian, kehidupannya sebagai seorang penyiar nasional terkenal di media televisi, dan karyanya yang telah diterbitkan.
