Karapu Lit: Ngā Kaituhi Kua Mate
Windsor, Colorado
HE KAIHAERE NUI RĀTOU: ehara i te mea mā roto i ngā pukapuka anake engari mā runga i ngā moana hei whakanui i ngā kaituhi e arohaina nei. Ahakoa kua ngaro ngā kaituhi i te ora tonu, kua whakaoho ake ā rātou mahi i tēnei rōpū kaipānui pono mai i te tau 2006.
Ki INGARANGI? I rere koutou katoa ki Ingarangi...mai i Colorado?
Āe, tokowhitu mātou. I haere mātou mō ngā wiki e rua i te tau 2013, me te whakarite i tā mātou ake haerenga ki te mātakitaki i te Dorset a Hardy, Lyme Regis a Fowles, Bath a Austen me Haworth a Bronte. I toro atu hoki mātou ki Oxford mō Lewis rāua ko Tolkien, me Stratford-upon-Avon mō Shakespeare.
Me pēhea e taea ai e koe te eke ki runga ake i tēnā?
Āe... kei reira a New England. Kei te whakamahere mātou i taua haerenga i roto i ngā tau e rua hei whakanui i a Hawthorne, Alcott, me ētahi atu.
He mīharo! Nō reira, me kōrero tāua mō tō ingoa...
Ko ngā kaituhi kua mate, ā, e rua pea ngā pukapuka kua tuhia e mātou, ka pānuihia e mātou. E rua ngā pukapuka nā te kaituhi kotahi i whiriwhiria, ā, mā tēnei ka mārama mātou ki te āhua o te tuhituhi, ā, ko te tikanga ka pānuihia e mātou ngā pukapuka tekau mā rua i te tau nā te tokoono.
He ariā tino pai. Nā, kōrero mai ki a mātou i tāu i pānui ai i ngā rā tata nei?
Anei ngā mea kua pānuihia e mātou i te tau kua hipa:
♦ James Michener—Tuhinga o mua a Mexicoo
♦ Ray Bradbury—Waina Dandelion a Tetahi Mea Ka Me Pea Nei Te Mea Nei
♦ Vladimir Nabokov—Lolita ā, hei whakakorikori, Te panui a Lolita i Tehrann (ahakoa kāore i tuhia e Nabokov)
♦ Frank McCourt—Nga pungarehu a Angela a Tangata Kaiako
♦ Karen Blixen—Tuhinga o mua a Hakari a Babette
♦ Betty Smith—Te Hari i te Ata me He Rakau Tupu i Brooklyn.
He tino pai ki a koe ngā mea katoa?

Te Whiriwhiria
Waina Dandelion
Mō ngā kaituhi, e aroha ana tātou katoa ki a Thomas Hardy, ki ngā Bronte me ngā Austen. He tino ataahua ngā kiripuaki o ia pukapuka a aua kaituhi, ā, he tino ataahua hoki ngā tuhinga.
Ā, me ngā pukapuka i ārahi ki ngā kōrero tino pai?
I tino pai tā mātou kōrero ki a Desert Solitaire nā Edward Abbey, nā te mea e tuhituhi ana ia mō ngā wāhanga e mōhiotia ana e mātou. He kaituhi kōrero pai a Faulkner rāua ko Erskin Caldwell, me CS Lewis anō hoki mō The Great Divorce me Ripene Reta he wero.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i āu pukapuka?
Ka whiriwhiria e mātou te tau katoa i te ngahuru mō te tau maramataka e whai ake nei, ka hurihia kia taea ai e te katoa te whiriwhiri. He ahua whakamataku mātou—ina mate te kaituhi, ā, ka puta ki ngā purongo, ka tukuna mai he īmēra e tetahi, pērā i te "Kei te wātea a Tom Clancy mō te karapu pukapuka." Ko mātou pea anake te karapu pukapuka kāore e hiahia ana ngā kaituhi kia pānuihia ā rātou mahi!
Kōrero mai mō āu kēmu JEOPARDY.
I te marama o Tīhema, he wā tino pai tā mātou ki tētahi kēmu momo Jeopardy me ngā taonga. Kei roto i ā mātou wāhanga ko te kōrero, te kaituhi, ngā kiripuaki, te wāhi, me kohua pourriKa taea e ngā whakautu te hoki whakamuri mō ngā tau maha, nō reira he mahi whakamahara pai rawa atu. Ka whakawhitiwhiti pukapuka tawhito mātou i tā mātou pāti Kirihimete.
Haunga ngā haerenga ki Ingarangi (!), he aha atu ngā mahi kua mahia tahitia e kōrua?
Kua haere tahi māua ki ngā kiriata, kua whakakakahuria kia rite ki tā māua kaituhi tino pai, ki tā māua kiripuaki pukapuka rānei, ā, i whakahaere i tētahi pāti Poe i te Hārowini i reira māua i pānui ai i a Edgar, ā, i mahi hoki i tētahi kaupapa toi "Raven" (tirohia te whakaahua).
Ka haere mātou ki ngā huihuinga pānui hapori, ka rongo mātou i ngā kaituhi tūturu, ORA... he huringa pai tēnei. Nō nā tata nei mātou i rongo ai i a Khaled Hosseini o Kaieke Manu rongonui me te aroha o te tau kua hipa a Eric Larson e kōrero ana mō I roto i te kari kararehe.
I te nuinga o te wā, me pēhea e whakaahua ai koe i tō karapu?
I tīmata te rōpū i te wā i pātai atu ai a Beth me ōna mātua ki ētahi hoa mēnā kei te hiahia rātou ki te whakatū i tētahi karapu pukapuka. I roto i ngā tau, he maha ngā tāngata i haere mai, i haere atu, engari he rōpū matua tekau mā rua tā mātou e mahi tahi ana. Heoi anō, kua ngaro te pāpā o Beth, tō mātou tāne kotahi, i a mātou ināianei, engari he rite tonu te toenga o te rōpū.
E harikoa ana tātou katoa tetahi ki tetahi; e tautoko ana tātou tetahi i tetahi i ngā huringa nui o te ao—ngā matenga, ngā pēpi, ngā mate; ā, e whakanui tahi ana tātou i ngā marena, i ngā rā whānau, me ngā reti.
