Title : Sir Apropos of Nothing
Author : Peter David
Publisher: Publisher: Star Trek (July 1, 2001) Hardcover: 503 pages
ISBN: 0743412338

Review :Book Description
From Publishers Weekly
An antihero for the 21st century, Apropos springs from his mother's womb with a full set of teeth, ready to bite anyone who gets in the way of his survival in this fast, fun, heroic fantasy satire. Serious issues are bound to concern a child born of a gang rape conducted by knights who wouldn't know the Holy Grail even if it was filled with mead and emptied over their heads. David, author of more than 40 novels, primarily Star Trek- or Babylon 5-related, knows how to spin a story, entertaining the reader with pathos, bathos, mythos and psychos. When Apropos sets off to rescue a bratty, Hecate-worshipping princess named Entipy, he's an angry young man, lame of leg and spirit. As a reluctant hero he must endure a wicked phoenix, the Outer Lawless Regions and the Screaming Gorge of Eternal Madness, not to mention the annoyingly brave Tacit, who claims he was raised by unicorns. In the course of his quest he also discovers his father and learns how to turn lemons into a high-octane lemonade. At times repugnant, at others delightful, but never boring, Sir Apropos wants to "break out of the little box that I had been placed in, first by society, then by the knights, and now by destiny itself." Of course he blows the box into smithereens, as does David, who appears to be planning still more adventures (and hopefully, misadventures) for his cranky, crazy knight. Agent, Andy Zack. (July 10) FYI: This book is the author's first non-tie-in novel since the '80s (Knight Life and Howling Mad).

Pro :
After I finished reading Peter David`s novel "Sir Apropos of Nothing" it took me a while before I was able to move on to reading another book. It left a very strong impression on me, something that is not unusual with his books. But this one is not the next chapter of my favourite series, New Frontier, or any other Star Trek written by him, this is something completely different. Peter David created his own universe, his own characters. He has written other non-media books before, but "Sir Apropos of Nothing" is his first non-media book I have read so far. Here we enter a world where we meet kings, knights, squires, witches and some more phantastic creatures. But Peter David`s version is not as simplistic as meeting a noble king who is surrounded by noble knights who go out into the world in order to do heroic deeds, slay dragons and save the odd damsel in distress. I am quite tired of that pattern and therefore I welcomed it that this book is different, much more complex. I often had the feeling that Peter David was challenging this pattern deliberately. We find out quickly that appearances can be very deceiving, that people who seem to be nice have some dark secrets. Sometimes good and evil can`t be separated easily. Sometimes good people are pushed into doing something bad. Peter David put very complex people into his book, people with strength and weaknesses, people who make mistakes. Peter David`s strength has always been characterizations and this book is no exception. The people in his book are very alive.
This is first of all the case with the main character, a young squire names Apropos. I liked him immediately. He is a very positive character but he has some darker layers as well which make him even more interesting. Apropos has a wonderful sense of humour. On top of that he is able to deal with all kinds of adventures and problems, mainly by using his wit. This makes the book fun to read. Some parts really made me laugh.
On the other hand, "Apropos" is not a comedy. Therefore I think comparing it with "Blackadder" is not accurate. The book also has some very serious scenes, a mix I find very intriguing. I find it remarkable with how much ease and skill Peter David combined the fun and the serious parts in this book. He is able to insert humour in some very dark scenes without ever giving me the feeling that it is forced. Sometimes I was caught between laughing and being touched by the seriousness of the situation.
Not only is Apropos a very likeable character, also because of his weaknesses, he is on top of that a very strong character. He makes mistakes and there are setbacks as well, but his determination, his cleverness is remarkable. We can see during this story that this character grows, that he is learning from mistakes. This is especially visible at the end of the book.
What I find also remarkable is how Peter David handled the topic disability in this book: Apropos was born with a physical disability. Being disabled myself I know what I am talking about, and I think he handled this aspect in a very realistic but also appealing way. I hate it when people with disabilities are shown as objects of pity and being helpless victims. Apropos learned from very early on to see and treat his disability as a challenge. In time he became more and more able to defend himself if he has to. But first of all he learned to use his wit and how to evade physical confrontations. I find this very interesting. Apropos reminded me in some ways of Miles Vorkosigan, the main character in Lois McMaster Bujold`s series.
Peter David is openly challenging cliches and prejudices, not only concerning the "heroism and chivalry" stuff in fairy tales and about disabled people, but there is a lot more. The book often made me think. One other aspect is that Peter David obviously shares my opinion that having feelings is not a weakness, it is a strength. He is also challenging the clich |

author's weekly
FAISAL TEHRANI adalah nama pena kepada Mohd Faizal Musa. Beliau dilahirkan pada 7 Ogos 1974 di Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Pada usia 5 tahun beliau dibawa ibu-bapanya berpindah ke Melaka dan dibesarkan di kota bersejarah tersebut.
FAISAL TEHRANI mendapat pendidikan awal di Sekolah Sacred Heart Melaka, kemudian di Sekolah Rendah Jalan Dato? Palembang dan memperolehi 5 A untuk peperiksaan Penilaian. Faisal kemudian menuntut di Sekolah Menengah Sultan Muhammad sehingga Tingkatan Tiga, lantaran keputusan SRP yang cemerlang, beliau ditawarkan belajar di Kolej Islam Kelang (Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah). Kisah-kisah awal remaja Faisal banyak disirikan di dalam majalah Fokus SPM.
Faisal seterusnya menuntut di Akademi Islam Nilam Puri Kelantan sebelum meneruskan pengajian sehingga memperolehi ijazah Sarjana Muda Syariah Politik dari Universiti Malaya.Tidak lama kemudian Faisal menjadi fellow di Universiti Sains Malaysia. Beliau meneruskan pengajian peringkat Sarjana (MA) dalam jurusan Kesusasteraan dan kini melanjutkan pelajaran dalam kedoktoran (PhD) pula di UKM.
Dalam bidang drama pentas Faisal menulis tiga buah drama setakat ini iaitu Rintih Chicago (memenangi Hadiah Sastera Perdana Malaysia 1996/97), drama Angin Madinah (memenangi Hadiah Sastera Berunsur Islam anjuran Yayasan Pelajaran Islam Malaysia dan DBP) serta drama MISI yang dikerjakan bersama pengarah muda terkenal Nam Ron. Dalam tahun 2002 dilaporkan beliau akan bekerjasama sekali lagi dengan Nam Ron di samping mementaskan sebuah drama yang diadaptasi dari sebuah novel sensasi karangan seorang Sasterawan Negara.Dalam genre novel, Faisal menulis antara lain novel Cinta Hari-hari Rusuhan (Creative Enterprise 2000) dan Perempuan Politikus Melayu (Penerbitan Pemuda 2000). Novel Perempuan Politikus Melayu mendapat pujian pengkritik sastera antara lain seperti Profesor Madya Amida Abdul Hamid, SM Zakir dan Dato Johan Jaafar dan dianggap sebuah novel yang berani. Novel Jendela Berlangsir Hujan disirikan dalam majalah EH! mendapat sambutan dan masih berlangsung mengenai persahabatan tiga gadis Latha Baskaran, Dang Asmara dan Chloe Robertson. Novel bersiri Dongeng Kingdom Of Flowers di majalah al-Wasilah bagaimanapun terbantut setelah majalah remaja tersebut diharamkan oleh kerajaan tanpa sebarang alasan. Faisal sedang berusaha menerbitkan dua buah novel remaja berjudul Rahsia Ummi dan Sharifah Aini juga novel Rumah 404, serta sebuah novel politik yang dirahsiakan pembikinannya.Faisal beruntung mendapat asuhan antara lain dari Sasterawan Negara Datuk A.Samad Said, Sasterawan Negara Dato Shahnon Ahmad, pemenang SEA Write Award Zaharah Nawawi dan Sutung Umar RS dalam bidang puisi. SN Dato Shahnon malah mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dengan keluarga Faisal. Pada tahun 1999 Faisal bersama Mawar Shafie, Hizairi Othman, Jasni Matlani mewakili Malaysia ke Program Penataran Sastera anjuran Majlis Sastera Asia Tenggara di Jakarta dan Bogor. Faisal dalam tahun yang sama turut mewakili Malaysia ke Chiang Mai dan Bangkok untuk Forum Asia Pasifik di mana beliau berucap di hadapan aktivis hak asasi Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik Selatan dengan judul ucapan One Hundred Years of Lies yang mendapat perhatian perwakilan. Faisal kemudian bersahabat baik dengan pejuang demokrasi dan pemimpin pelajar Burma, Ko Ko Thett dan jurucakap fraksi Darul Islam Indonesia yang liberal, Al-Chaidar. Faisal pernah menjadi Timbalan Presiden Kelab Alumni MPR dan kini merupakan salah seorang penasihat biasa.
Faisal menulis untuk Dewan Budaya, Dewan Sastera, Dewan Masyarakat, Tamadun, majalah Fokus SPM, EH dan www.kakiseni.com serta merupakan pembimbing Minggu Penulis Remaja. Faisal juga mengajar secara sambilan di beberapa IPT. Dalam tahun 2000, Faisal menjadi panel skrip dokumentari untuk RTM 1 berjudul Ilham di mana beliau antara lain berkesempatan mewawancara buat kali terakhir Allahyarham Dato Usman Awang sebelum beliau meninggal dunia.
Faisal sering dikaitkan dengan politik kiri dan dilabel sebagai penyokong reformasi kerana kenyataan-kenyataan beliau yang jujur. Faisal bagaimanapun menegaskan bahawa beliau hanyalah ?seperti seniman-seniman lain saya adalah pendokong kebenaran dan bukannya penyokong buta mana-mana parti politik?.
FAISAL TEHRANI tidak seperti generasi penulis zamannya Hizairi Othman, Nisah Haron, Shamsuddin Othman, Saharil Hasrin Sanin dan lain-lain bermula agak lewat iaitu di usia 20 tahun. Cerpen pertama beliau tersiar pada tahun 1992 di majalah Muslimah dengan judul Anastasia. Faisal hanya disedari oleh khalayak sastera pada tahun 1994 apabila cerpen-cerpen beliau iaitu cerpen Anak dan cerpen Opah memenangi Hadiah Sastera Utusan Malaysia-Public Bank 1994. Tahun yang sama beliau memenangi Hadiah Sastera Siswa DBP-Bank Rakyat menerusi cerpen Malam Ini Philadelphia Menangis, anugerah paling berprestij untuk penulis remaja waktu itu (kini sudah tiada).
Kejayaan ini diikuti pada tahun 1995 apabila beliau memenangi sekali Hadiah Sastera Utusan dengan cerpen Pemberontakan Kedua. Tahun 1996 Faisal dikurniai rezeki yang murah dengan memenangi Hadiah Sastera Utusan Malaysia-Public Bank dengan cerpen Perempuan Anggerik dan cerpen Api KL Belum Terpadam, Hadiah Sastera Berunsur Islam anjuran BAHEIS kelapan dengan cerpen Menanti Subuh. Dalam tahun 1997, cerpen Surat Untuk Gabe 1 memenangi Hadiah Sastera Karya.
Faisal seterusnya memenangi Hadiah Sastera Utusan Malaysia pada tahun 1998 (dengan cerpen Cinta Gendang Kasturi), 1999 (cerpen Bulan dan Wira dan puisi Sesudah Hujan Dahlia) dan dalam tahun 2000 dengan cerpen Irisan-irisan Mimpi dan Syahid Raja Api. Faisal juga memenangi Hadiah Sastera Perdana Malaysia 96/97 dengan cerpen Perempuan Anggerik. Cerpen beliau ini diterjemahkan ke bahasa Thai, Inggeris dan Jepun serta diadaptasi ke dramatari oleh kareografer terkenal Adikara Dance Theatre, Jasni Abdul Hamid pada 29 Julai 2001. Dalam tahun 2001 juga Faisal memenangi Hadiah Sastera Berunsur Islam dengan cerpen Cahaya Pada Jiwa. Salah sebuah cerpen Faisal iaitu Kerana Manisnya Epal terkandung dalam komponen sastera dalam subjek Bahasa Melayu bagi Tingkatan Empat. Dua kumpulan cerpen mini beliau diterbitkan di Sasbadi dengan judul Sehari Dalam Perang (1997) dan Safari Gilgit (1997). Beliau membuat ?kecoh? bersama Azman Husin dalam tahun 2000 dengan menerbitkan Kumpulan Cerpen Underground secara ?berduet?. Dalam tahun 2002, sebuah kumpulan cerpen Perempuan Anggerik dengan 20 buah cerpen beliau yang pernah disiarkan di pelbagai media akan diterbitkan oleh DBP. Sumber-sumber rapat memberitahu beliau mendapatkan khidmat pelukis terkenal Ungku Iznan Syahmi yang juga merupakan rakan sekolah beliau satu masa dahulu untuk ilustrasi kumpulan cerpen tersebut |

**** Sehari Sebuah Buku ****
 ]Judul : Advencer Si Peniup Ney
Pengarang : Faisal Tehrani
Penerbit : Utusan Publications & Distributors Sdn Bhd
Genre : Novel
Mukasurat : 243
Cetakan Pertama : 2005
ISBN :9676117625
Hedonis.
Begitu definisi kaum di negeri jauh itu. Landas hidup hanya untuk berseronok-seronok, bermewah-mewah, lazat, lazat, lazat. Berpantang arah tujuan, terlarang segala fikiran. Ya, aliran hedonisme menjunjung kelazatan dan puja-pujaan, emm... cita rasa, cita rasa!
40 remaja berawajah amat berseri-seri mengundang Sulaiman Hilmi yang bermata biru hijau berbalam, yang berwajah cahaya. Bersama mereka menunggang awan, memacu ombak menuju ke negeri jauh, membawa salam kesejahteraan. Demi menyahut panggilan Cinta. Menyerah buat dibakar api Cinta. Merawat duka rawan rindu kepada Cinta. Bahawa yang paling seronok, paling mewah, paling lazat ialah kelazatan menunaikan janji abadi :
Bahawa Dia itu Satu. Tempat bergantungnya segala sesuatu. Tumpuan hidup dan mati dan hidup lagi sesudah mati.
Dia Sumber Cinta, Pencipta Segala Rasa.
"Karya ini berjaya menarik perhatian panel apabila secara sinis menempelak gaya hendonisme anak muda yang tercemar akhlaknya lantaran asyik dengan hiburan yang bertentangan dengan Islam.
Karya ini merunut kehebatan kesenian Islam yang telah melahirkan tokoh-tokoh sufi dan falsafah selain menyerlahkan nama-nama seperti Ibnu Misjah, Ibnu Suraj, Ata Abi Rabah, Yunus Kateb, Ibnu Farabi, Ibnu Sina dan Yunus Emre.
Faisal juga berjaya mengolah naratif keseluruhan karyanya dengan memberi penegasan bahawa kesenian dan Islam bukanlah sesuatu yang terpisah daripada konsep keimanan." - Mingguan Malaysia 29 Mei 2005
