Ira, Tukul, and SMS…

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Akmal–a Tempo journalist who turns into a novelist. Today, I write about a TV reporter who turns into a book writer.

Yes, congratulations to Ira (Yuniarty) Lathief for her books, out now: Tukul Arwana, Kumis Lele Rejeki Arwana–an ‘unauthorized’ semi-biography of this comedian (and presenter) from Ira’s point of view as a journalist; and SMS Rayuan Gombal–a collection of flirty text messages and pick-up lines.

Ira is a reporter in RCTI’s News Feature Department, and loves to write in her spare time. You can also check out some of her opinions in her blog My School of Life.

Congrats, Ira!
