Karapu Lit: Te Karapu Pukapuka o te Tohu Booker
New York, New York
Ko tēnei Karapu Pukapuka BOOKER BOOKER e pānui ana i ngā pukapuka Booker anake (kōrerohia kia tere, kia toru ngā wā). He nui tō rātou ngākau nui ki te tuhituhi—ā, ko tō rātou ingoa anake e whakaatu ana i te hiranga o tā rātou mahi!
Ka hiki taumaha koe. Kua whakamātau koe i tētahi mea māmā... pērā i a Marley and Me?
Kāore rawa. Nā tō mātou ingoa i kī te katoa: i whakarite mātou ki te pānui pukapuka i whakaingoatia mō te Booker Prize—te tohu tino rongonui o te ao tuhituhi Ingarihi. Koinei te kaupapa o tō mātou ao.
Tokohia kei roto i tō karapu?
Neke atu i te 240 ā mātou kaipānui.
240? Tekau ngā wā he nui ake tēnā i te nuinga o ngā karapu! Kei te pēhea te mahi?
E 50 ō mātou mema hohe engari e 20 noa iho ā mātou hui. Tae noa ki tēnei wā, ko te tokomaha rawa ko te 17 (arā, ka taea tonu e mātou te kōrero tahi).
Heoi anō...240? Nā wai rā te tokomaha o ōna hoa?
Kāore mātou i te hoa i te tīmatanga: he manene mātou. I tīmata te rōpū i runga ipurangi—mā meetup.com, he whatunga pāpori. Nā Robyn, tō mātou kaiārahi, i whakarērea te whakaaro...ā, he tokomaha i whakaatu i te hiahia. I muri i te tau—nā te nui haere o te wā e noho tahi ana mātou—kua tīmata mātou ki te hanga hoa.
I te tini o te tangata, me pēhea te whiriwhiri pukapuka?
Ka pānuihia e mātou te rārangi o te toa me te kaitono o te Tohu [Man] Booker. Ko Robyn te kaiwhakahaere o ngā kōwhiringa, e ngana ana ki te whiriwhiri i te 3 i te wā kotahi kia taea ai e te iwi te whakamahere i mua. Ka tukuna e ngā mema he whakaaro, ā, ka ngana ia ki te whakauru i aua whakaaro ki te whakatuwheratanga e whai ake nei.
He aha te āhua o ā koutou kōrero?
He rōpū kanorau mātou—e pā ana ki te tau, te mahi, te wheako o te ao, te iwi, me te haereere. Nō reira, he rerekē ā mātou hiahia, ā, ka taea e ēnei te arahi i te pakanga i ētahi wā. Engari he whakaute tonu mātou—ahakoa he rerekē te whakaaro o tētahi tangata ki te whakaaro o ētahi atu. Mā ngā tirohanga rerekē ka āwhina mātou ki te tiro i tētahi pukapuka i tētahi tirohanga rerekē—nō reira ka whakarongo mātou.Kia marino tōku ngākau! Anei te whakautu ki te pātai "He aha ai ngā karapu pukapuka?" —Editor.]
He mea whakamiharo ngā mea e kawea mai ana e te tangata ki te tēpu: kei te mahi tetahi i tētahi tuhinga mō ngā rotarota o te Renaissance, kua rua ngā pānui a tetahi atu i te pukapuka, kua rangahau, kātahi ka whakamārama i te whatunga uaua o ngā tino tangata o mua i roto i te kōrero. Ko ētahi ka pānui noa, ka pai ake kia tū motuhake ngā kōwhiringa.
Kotahi tau noa iho...kōrero mai ki a mātou i tāu i pānui ai tae noa mai ki tēnei wā.
Anei tā mātou rārangi tae noa ki tēnei rā:
Ngā Iwi Wheua
Te Huarahi Hiakai
Raina Ataahua
Oscar rāua ko Lucinda
Kaiwhakaaro Pūtake Whakaroa
Ngā toenga o te rā
Atua Iti a Vernon
Wolf Hall
He makau?
Ko te mea tino pai te āhua nei Kaiwhakaaro Pūtake Whakaroa mō ōna tirohanga hou ki te ao tōrangapū, te Ihirama, me te pāpāho. I miharo mātou, ā, i ara ake ki ngā wheako Ihirama i te US me tāwāhi.
Ko ētahi atu tino pai ko Oscar rāua ko Lucinda (he tino rite ki a Dickens me ngā mahi toi uaua) me Wolf Hall (he whakaahuatanga nui, kāore i te tūmanakohia o Thomas Cromwell—ko tana rapunga whakaaro, tana hihiri tōrangapū, me tōna tuakiri i whakaohokia). Hei whakamutunga, Ngā toenga o te rā nā tōna āhua whakamiharo me tōna kōrero pakiwaitara tino pai.
He aha ngā mea e pouri ana koe?
He mea whakakatakata—ki te kore tātou e pai ki tētahi pukapuka, ka whai tātou i ētahi o ā tātou kōrerorero pai, hōhonu hoki!
Mo te nuinga, Te Raina o te Ataahua he mea whakapōuri. He tino ataahua te tuhituhi, he whakamere hoki ngā kiripuaki, engari he āhua papatahi te ahua o te pukapuka. I pai ētahi ki te pukapuka, i kino ētahi ki te pukapuka, engari he tokomaha i hiahia kia nui ake ngā mea mai i te pukapuka.
Kōrero mai mō te whakawhitiwhiti pukapuka pai i whakaritea e koe.
Ae. I tū te whakawhitiwhiti pukapuka i roto i tētahi whare pukapuka iti i SoHo, me tētahi atu karapu pukapuka—ko ngā Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. He huihuinga pāpori katoa—kāore he kaupapa—ā, he tino angitu, ā, i whakatau te whare pukapuka ki te whakahaere i tētahi whakawhitiwhiti pukapuka auau.
Ko te rōpū kē e pānui ana i ngā pukapuka o tāwāhi, ā, ko tā mātou e tumanako nei kia whiriwhiria e mātou tētahi pukapuka hei pānui tahi mā mātou.
