BELLAMORE - Behind The Scene
What inspired me during the making of BELLAMORE?
The novel is FICTION, but yes I got inspired by many events in my life and life of those around me whom I had the privilege to take a peek at their private matters. While writing the novel I found this picture on the internet - a painting called 'Borgo Sul Mar Tirreno' by Antonio Di Viccaro, and it inspired me a lot while I was writing the chapter about Ragusa.
Borgo Sul Mar Tirreno by Antonio Di Viccaro
Are those characters in BELLAMORE base on real life people?
Most of them were partly based on real life characters I've met and had a chance to know them, but of course I dramatized the characters. After all it's just a fiction, right?!
Why the title BELLAMORE?
Believe it or not, but Bellamore wasn't the original title. I changed it base on my editor's input and I also felt that the original one was too depressing and despair. So I started to look for the new one, something that more poetic and romantic. So, voila… it became "Bellamore – a Beautiful Love to Remember" – I surely hope the readers would love it.
Why Lupus?
Actually no particular reason. While writing the novel, I got a lot of exposure from the media about Lupus, and I also knew that many people in Indonesia still unfamiliar with this disease. So it just came into my head - why not using this disease as one of the object in the novel? That way, at least, I could make people who read my novel aware of Lupus. So I did. Just like that.
Analogy of "Gelas kopi bergoyang"
In chapter 8 (Page 68-69), there's a story about Pakde Mul told Fabian about this ridiculous analogy while they were talking about 'Goyang Karawang' – Well, I didn't make it up. The analogy was real, someone told me years ago while we were passing through Karawang area. I remember that time I laughed so hard for it was one of the most ridiculous analogies I've ever heard!
Ciao!

April 11, 2008 04:29 PM PDT
to: karla,..
congrat bgt bellamorenya top2 2 2 deh,..and also tq finally ada juga novel yg bisa buat saya penasaran untuk membacanya, dan ternyata gak sia2.
honestly, knp novel ini ok bgt menurut saya, krn pengalaman yg sedang sy jalani ini mirip2 sama cerita bellamore nya, kebayang dunkk gmn perasaan sy waktu ngebaca novel ini....
btw,.. klo blh aku ksh masukan, ttg pertemuan lana n fabian di new york itu kayaknya kebetulan sekali terlalu fiksi mungkin krn mereka ktm secara gak sengaja di jln....
Tp inspite of all; two tumbs up for bellamore,...
coba dibuat film, ok bgt tuch,...
so, wait for the next bellamore..
bye... | |

can't describe in words how much i love Bellamore...it is an amazing made-in-indonesia-novel.
i've read it for thousand times i guess.haha..esp the letter written by Fabian for Lana.
before finished the reading,i thought it'll be ended happily for Lana and Fabian.but,the ending that i got was more than expectation.BRAVO!!!
i just wonder why Lana give up her love for Fabian..and why she didn't contact Fabian after she's coming back frm NY? | |

i love your bellamore. keren, gue suka banget sama tokoh fabian, dan gue sampe menitikkan air mata pas baca surat fabian (secara gue ga rela fabian pass away). argumen2 fabian sama lana juga kocak, aku sampai ketawa sendiri. tapi klo boleh kritik mungkin deskripsi fisik soal karakternya kurang kali ya, misalnya lana yang gue ga bisa bayangin dia yang hot chick itu sebenernya kayak apa. but after all, bellamore deserves more, love it! | |

Tks for stopping by. Glad you like it... You cud find the answer to your question in the book actually...
to AL
Makasih ya... Biar kejutan dikit ah Fabiannya dibikin lewat... Diskripsi fisik sengaja dibuat demikian utk memberi ruang imajinasi bagi para pembaca. Kalau terlalu detail kesannya kayak laporan nanti... but tks anyway for the input. | |

Wah, mbak lala..
Salute..
Buku yang bisa bikin orang terinspirasi dengan argumen2 yang tepat, beautifull quote, menguras emosi, dan bikin gak bisa berhenti sampai tahu endingnya..
Cuma sosok Danny koq seems to be absolutely perfect yah? A little pushy for making up an ending..
Tapi tetep A MUST READ BOOK..
Ditunggu next bellamorenya yah..
